Yes, but not all types of malaria pills. Children of any age can get malaria and any child traveling to a malaria-risk area should be on an antimalarial drug. However, some antimalarial drugs are not suitable for children. Doses are based on the child’s weight. More details on Preventing Malaria in Infants and Children.

If over the counter read the label.
If prescription it must be taken only by the person who the pill was prescribed for.
