Hi, casirivimab and imdevimab is administered together for the treatment of mild to moderate (COVID-19) in adults and pediatric patients above 12 years of age with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 and/or hospitalization.
Not for all children with covid 19
Only high risk group It is administered intravenously and has its own set of pros and cons.

Based on scientific information available children below age of 18 year don’t require anti viral treatment in mild to moderate disease condition. Majority of kids only get mild disease. I would not advice any medication without consultation with your peditrician.
