the dosage of Crocin is according to milligram per kg of body weight .Do not reduce the doses from 3 ml to 2 ML but increase the gap between two doses meaning decrease the frequency of medications. for example if earlier you were giving 3 ml every 6 hours then now you can do 3 ml every 8 hours or 10 hours depending on when the fever comes.
