pack the antibiotic in hand luggage so no danger of getting lost use a cooler bag with a frozen gel pack to keep it cool , you can buy them from loads of places or on amazon

It will be ok we had to do it about 2 year ago for the same thing, as long as you put it in the small clear bag

I would give your little one some painkiller just before you fly. My little girl is 9 and suffers on the plane every time and usually gets an ear infection whilst we are on holiday Hopefully the antibiotics will have started kicking in for your little boy and he will be fine x

just came back last week from tunisia had a broblem with one of my ears this was self inflicted by using a cotton bud had to get drops and clear with a spray the thompson rep asked if it was infected i said no she informed me that they could refuse to fly me if it was so i would be carefull if i were you.

Make sure your little one has a dummy or a bottle of milk to drink during the desent, the sucking action will help release any pressure build up in the ear.
