Hello,
First, should make sure that your 2 yr old is having stomach worms for real. So, should run a microscopic examination of stool for ova/parasites (3 consecutive days-bowel movements).
Then can treat it as per lab results comparing with the clinical presentation of your baby.
I think the right name of the syrup suggested is Zentel (albendazole). Yes, we can prescribe it but after making sure your baby is having worms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
