If the child can do without it for several hours, then it is better to check it in and save yourself from unnecessary explanations and wasting time and nerves.

As far as I know, essential medicines are carried in hand luggage. After all, the flight can be delayed, luggage lost, etc. And this can be a threat to human health and life. A friend of mine checked in her medicines, but her luggage was lost. In the end, she ended up in the hospital. The airline said that they were not to blame for the fact that the passenger was injured (health), and the medicines had to be carried in hand luggage.

Definitely you need to ask the Airline or call the airport and ask them.
Because problems may arise.
Tablets can be taken on board, but liquid medicine ....

you can, don't worry! especially if there is a certificate, the only thing is to translate the certificate into English and let there be a printed instruction for this medicine in Russian and English and the presence of the original packaging. and matching the number of needles and drug.
Well, the comparison of mango and insulin is of course something .....

All necessary medicines that may be needed during the flight are allowed to be carried in hand luggage. If these drugs are prohibited, but they have a certificate from a doctor with a diagnosis and the need to take them, then there will be no questions either. But there will be no questions with insulin, a glucometer (there is a certificate), it’s checked, because we carry it with us regularly and everywhere, with a doctor’s note, we always have it with us, but for all the time no one asked her ...

insulin can be transported in the amount that a person needs, regardless of the amount, i.e. insulin does not fall under the allowance of 100 ml of liquid. take as much as you need for your vacation!

You can carry. As a rule, the instructions for the drug have its Latin name. It would be nice to translate the doctor's prescriptions into English (preferably a certified translation). Diabetics fly all over the world and there are no problems. For example. The former head (kingdom of heaven) of the October Palace in Kyiv suffered from insulin-dependent diabetes. Constantly wound on foreign business trips. Packing of syringes and ampoules was always with him. Moreover, they are allowed to carry glucose in a medpack in case of a sharp drop in sugar.

They took her husband's medicine, liquid, in a glass container, volume 200 ml, already opened, because. I had to use it on the way to the airport, there was no certificate from the doctor and a check from the pharmacy, they put it out of the bag on a tape, enlightened it, checked it, the senior shift talked to my husband and missed it. There were no particular problems, we were delayed at the control for 5-7 minutes.

Under no circumstances should you put it in your luggage! I am a diabetic with 20 years of experience, and I can say with confidence that if insulin still tolerates overheating, then it completely loses its properties from freezing. In the luggage compartment, sub-zero temperatures are not uncommon, for a 4-hour flight, he will go crazy. Strips also do not like temperature changes.
I fly quite often. They never asked for a certificate, with you, just in case, there is a scan of the recipe on the phone. Once upon a time I asked my endocrinologist for help - she made huge eyes and excused herself, they say we don’t give out such ones. I gave up on this business :) I carry with me at least a double supply, plus another bottle + a couple of syringes - my husband, also in manual. Once when we forgot to throw away a bottle of water, and the Boryspil customs was surprisingly cheerful :) we looked into the cosmetic bag with a supply of insulin, simply didn’t ask anything, gave it away and wished us a happy flight.

Once at registration, out of interest, she herself said that from the injection I have syringes and needles to syringe pens. The girl asked if I needed them during the flight, after an affirmative answer, she noted something in the computer. And that's all. Yes, I'll add a supply of lancet needles. Spitz and needles for pens, I'm also taking. Recently, just in case, I take a spare battery for the glucometer in my luggage. It is clear that you can buy, but suddenly sit down at night. Egyptian customs is a meticulous inspection of everything, there have never been any complaints about insulin, since they jumped to the tonometer, and I don’t know how it is in English. She showed pantomime with gestures, although she barely restrained her laughter, two customs officers talked something among themselves, looked at the device again and gave it back. By the way, grab shoe covers, they will definitely take off their shoes on the opposite road

And well, not quite on the topic of advice: for the first couple of days, measure sugar as often as possible! Another climate, heat after cold, and many more factors affect this harmfulness in the blood. I usually have a little slide for the first couple of days (well, I’m an adult, I grab stronger drinks from the dutik for gatherings with my husband, plus Egyptian beer, in general, I have a vacation to relax and swell a little :), so here are the first 2-3 days I measure sugar 10-15 times, then standard. and the standard is 5-7. And be sure to take sugar and something carbohydrate with you to the beach! Well, I think you yourself are in the know. Good luck!

We fly with a pump and syringe pens. No problem. On the way back, they usually inspect more carefully.
Once they forgot insulin - I bought it at the nearest pharmacy (Charm) half the price of ours !!!!

There will be no problems, fly calmly.
Moreover - in Egyptian pharmacies you can buy very high quality and inexpensive medicines. Just take not imported ones, namely EGYPTIAN ones - they are of the highest quality and inexpensive. It is not difficult to take them out: you must have a check with you, and the amount should not exceed 3000 Egyptian pounds

There must be a prescription for this drug! The prescription must be issued no more than three days before departure (preferably before the very day of departure).
