Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

there is no contraindication for children. Zithromax can be safely used in children. Dosage adjustment is required.
You mentioned yeast infection. Zithromax is not effective against such infections. If this is the intended use then zithromax is not the right choice.

If you'd like further information, please contact me again using your follow-up questions.

Kind Regards!
