The ingredients are ground into powder and made into lozenges with the paste of Nuo Mi. 0.6-1 5 g of the lozenge is taken orally each time, twice daily. When applied externally, it is ground in vinegar and applied on the affected area. Because Qian Jin Zi and Hong Da Ji are both poisoning, the dosage for children should be reduced.
