Teething Gel
Common questions
Yes, teething gel is a gel/liquid and normally subject to the 100ml carry-on limit. However, in the US and Canada, medically necessary baby items including teething gel are exempt from the liquid rule in reasonable quantities.
Not usually, as teething gel is an over-the-counter product. Carrying it in the original packaging with visible labelling is sufficient in most countries. A doctor's note helps if you need larger quantities.
In the US/Canada: a reasonable amount for the journey. In the UK, EU, and most other countries: up to 100ml per container unless you have medical documentation allowing more.
For short trips, a 10ml–30ml tube easily fits within the 100ml liquid rule. For longer trips, pack additional supplies in your checked baggage in the original sealed packaging.
