Can i use adult gaviscon for my 3 month old for reflux.i went to the pharmacy and they could not give me infant gaviscon as i dont have a prescription?

No! And how on: earth can you tell if a three month old has reflux? It is normal for an infant that age to regurgitate and spit up feedings. You need to take the infant to the pediatrician and discuss your concerns before you do something to it which is potentially harmful!
