[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 36349, member: 3527"] Thank you, I tried to give them each half a tablet last night, so pretty much 1.5mg, and that didn't really seem to affect them at all, so I think that if it is safe, I will try to give them each a whole 3mg tonight and see if that does the trick. As for the liquid, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) neither of our younger children will have anything to do with liquid medicine. But the good thing is, they both have learned how to swallow pills to avoid having to take liquid medicine. This seems to work out very well, except for in instances where they need cough syrup or certain antibiotics that their necessary doses aren't available in pill form. I found the post in the Natural Treatments section, but it doesn't go into much detail about acceptable dosages for children that small. Surely with it being a natural thing, it won't "hurt" them, but I don't really see a need to overmedicate either, if you know what I mean. Thanks for the advice! [/QUOTE]
