When the condition is not serious, please choose oral or intramuscular administration. When the condition is serious, choose intravenous administration.

The dosage for children must be calculated based on age or weight. Adverse drug reactions may occur if the dosage is large or the intravenous injection speed is too fast, which exceeds the child's ability to bear or tolerance.
