Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Yes, it is okay to give this drug to children. However, the duration should be made to be as short as possible to avoid side effects like decreased bone growth. Each time the risk of using this drugs outweighs the potential harm, it is necessary to do it and I a pretty sure your doctor made a conscious decision about this.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services.
