Carry-on liquid medication

[dkal95]

Our 9 month old just got diagnosed with an ear infection 4 days before we leave.

Her medication is liquid and it has to be kept cold.

What can I do about this? Will they let me carry on her meds and an icepack?

Hi dkal95. Here is a part of the TSA's say on medications and cooling them. I have insulin that will also need to be kept cool and it says that that is ok now..............


"We are continuing to permit prescription liquid medications and other liquids needed by persons with disabilities and medical conditions. This includes:

Hope this information helps and hope your little one's ear infection clears up real soon. Have a great trip!
