zofran odt will have side effects like prolongation of QT on ecg which will leads to torsede d pontis means polymarphic ventricular tacycardia which can cause suddn death.
it is contraindicated in congenital QT prolngation syndromes, not in congenital heart disease,
if you have any doubt please consult your docter and take ECG for any QT prolangation in your child
