Calpol in hand luggage?

[Snail92]

We are flying in 2 weeks and DS will turn 3 the day before we go. He’s had multiple ear infections in his left ear, although the last one was quite a while ago, probably 9+ months ago, so hoping that’s the end of that.
I’m worried about his ears being uncomfortable on the plane, especially that left one that he’s had all the infections in. I’m planning on taking calpol, probably the sachets for ease on the plane. I’m pretty sure I can take these in hand luggage, but I just read somewhere that you need a doctor’s note? Surely that’s not right.. Can anyone shed any light please to stop me overthinking and stressing about this! 🫣

Buy some in Boots after security. Though volume wise it should be ok.

I bring pain killers always with me in my handluggage, tablets now but I had the small satches when DD was under 8 and normally a bottle in the hold luggage.

You can also buy Calpol in most airports after security, check if there is a Boots but I know the WH Smith also stock them.

We took calpol and nurofen in our hand luggage. It needed to be in the clear plastic bags. It was fine.

Thank you for the replies! I’ll stop stressing now and put some aside to pack 🤣

Buy the calpol sachets in pre measured 5ml doses, just pack a couple. Saves space too.
