Is it okay to give probiotics continuously every day or should I give her breaks once in a while?

Hello, I have a little boy who is almost 16 months old. As he is often constipated and as he often catches viruses at daycare, I have been giving him probiotics every morning since he was 7 months old. He has been taking them continuously every day for 9 months.

Hello,
In the situation you describe, there is no contraindication to give a probiotic continuously to your son.
It is not necessary to take breaks, although breaks are not necessarily harmful either.
Note that probiotics have no effect on constipation, clinically.
Enjoy!

Probiotics can strengthen our immune system indeed. So, yes, it can help protect us in some way against viruses.
Sincerely,
