Hi,
Ezlax is a combination therapy with macrogol as stool softener and laxative together with electrolytes.
It is used to treat constipation even in toddlers. Be careful to mix it with water before giving to your baby to avoid side effects.
Furthermore, I advise to look at her vital signs as longtime use of it might cause electrolyte disturbances.
Hope it was of help!
