Can a baby’s liquid medicines be carried on board a flight?


I am going on a domestic trip within India but my 5yr old baby girl got sick today itself and doctor has prescribed some liquid medicines. Can I carry it on board with myself?

    I went on the TSA web site and this is what it says:

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

    All prescription and over-the-counter medications (liquids, gels, and aerosols) including KY jelly, eye drops, and saline solution for medical purposes;
    Liquids including water, juice, or liquid nutrition or gels for passengers with a disability or medical condition;
    Life-support and life-sustaining liquids such as bone marrow, blood products, and transplant organs;
    Items used to augment the body for medical or cosmetic reasons such as mastectomy products, prosthetic breasts, bras or shells containing gels, saline solution, or other liquids; and,
    Gels or frozen liquids needed to cool disability or medically related items used by persons with disabilities or medical conditions.
    However, if the liquid medications are in volumes larger than 3 ozs each, they may not be placed in the quart-size bag and must be declared to the Transportation Security Officer. A declaration can be made verbally, in writing, or by a person’s companion, caregiver, interpreter, or family member.

    Declared liquid medications and other liquids for disabilities and medical conditions must be kept separate from all other property submitted for x-ray screening.

    I that your daughter gets to feeling better.

    We just got back from a trip a couple of days ago and carried liquid Benadryl with us as well as prescription medications. You shouldn’t have a problem.
