Hi,
The Zentel contain Albendazole anti-helminthic drug. Usually it kills almost all type of helminth. So yes it can be prescribed for your child. Take it as per your doctor advise. Don't worry regarding not giving in constipation condition.
Sometime excess worm can lead to intestinal obstruction. So as constipation associated, USG can be done for further work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
