A. Your child is having constipation of course you can give it to the child but otherwise there is no need to give it in the motion of the child is regular unnecessarily not laxative and if you do not eat out within 24 to 48 hours of time you can consult the doctor for further assistance and laxatives are not very healthy to be given every day try to work upon a healthy diet which helps in clearing the motion with easy digestion
