My son is 3 month old and he has been prescribed allerief for a rash he's got on his belly and chest to cure the itchiness, I'm wondering if it's ok for him to take it with him being 3 months?

If its been prescribed then the gp will have decided its ok to give off label.

Just worries me when the prescribe something that says on the box that not recommended for under 1year olds, Iv had 2 doctors and a pharmacist say its fine to give him nut it just worries me

This gives dosages from 1 month

You could choose not to give it but then he will suffer from the itching.

Thank you for sharing this link with me it's put mine & my partners mind at rest abit, like I say it's when they put things like they do on box and no information for younger babies it gets confusing what to do

Thank you again
