Are there any side effects to taking antihistamines for rashes over a long period of time?

It does sound like your son may have hives or urticaria and has been prescribed with telfast. Telfast is a second generation antihistamine which is a non-drowsy antihistamine as it does not cross the blood brain barrier. While there are not many studies on the long term use of the antihistamines, it is generally believed that the 2nd generation antihistamines are safe for use in the long term. We must always weigh the risks vs benefits of taking the medicines for the long term, but the risks with long term antihistamines is low.

How can I find out if I have a skin allergy to topical products?

Doctors regularly do a skin prick test to test for allergy to product or food ingredients. During the patch test, the doctor pricks the skin with the product to look for a reaction. A blood test can also be done to look for specific antibodies against certain products, suggestive of an allergy. Allergies can occur after repeated use of a product as it may take time for antibodies, which causes the allergic reactions, to develop. As the face pack you used contains other materials, it may not be the cinnamon or honey that you are allergic to.
