Dd is on antibiotics and will be when we fly to Spain on Sunday. It's a liquid antibiotic in a glass bottle with her details and dose on a sticker on it.
I will need to give her a dose over the travel time so will need to put it in my hand luggage. Will this be allowed?

With a doctor's letter/prescription it should be fine Smile

is she well enough to travel? no fever or anything like that? it would probably be fine anyway, but airports can be funny about allowing obviously ill people without documentation (doctor's note) to travel sometimes.

She is fine to travel, has a uti. Does the prescription sticker count as the prescription or do I need a letter also?

Do you have your green slip? If not, and as it's only antibiotics, the sticker should be fine. There are lots of antibiotics you can buy over the counter in Spain and so they won't be too worried. It just needs to be identified, really.
