Hello

Junior lanzol contains lansoprazole(an acid reducing agent),Sucrafil contains sucralfate(acid neutralising agent).
Lansoprazole is safe in this age.
Sucralfate can be given in this age as various research studies have shown its safety and no significant side effects.
Side effects(increased chance of intestinal infection) are only when given for long duration.
