Some guidelines to remember-

Potency:-
I recommend dilution of 30c. In general, though the potency selected depend on your child's symptoms

Dosage:-

• will be same for all age:- 3 pellets 
• repetition of dosage depends on the severity of illness. For hives, you may be giving the pellets every 1/2-1 hour, whereas for a bruised shin you may be giving pellets 2-3x/day.
• try to give the pellets away from food and drink by at least 15-20 minutes. But don’t worry if that doesn’t happen – it still works! the main thing to avoid is minty foods, drinks or toothpaste close to taking the medicines.
