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 8) 8)

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

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.
