The invention relates to a preparation technique for children cough oral liquid, which comprises the following steps in turn: (1) extracting primary liquid medicine; (2) purifying the primary liquid medicine to obtain clear solution, and further condensing the clear solution to obtain extractum; and (3) preparing the liquid medicine by the extractum, flavoring and water, and then obtaining the children cough oral liquid after filtering and condensing the liquid medicine in turn, in particular, in step (2), the purifying means filtering the primary liquid medicine through an ultramicro filter film; and in step (3), the filtering is also carried out by the ultramicro filter film. Through adopting the ultramicro filter film to effectively filter the primary extracted liquid medicine, the preparation technique achieves non-alcoholization production, simplifies processes, shortens production period, and reduces energy consumption and production cost; and at the same time, through adopting a filtering technique of a tubular ultrafilter film to carry out terminal filter for the prepared liquid medicine, the preparation technique ensures the content of effective components, improves clarity of the liquid medicine, improves quality of products, and ensures quality stability of the products.
