My daughter has breathing issues and has an inhaler.

My 21 month old son has febrile seizures and has medication for it that's a gel suppository.

Are we the TSA's worst nightmare? Will any of this be a problem? These are all prescription medications with the names and purpose right on it..
No. You're not. Pills tend not to attract attention. Gels and inhaler may. In the extremely unlikely event that you are asked about either, have a copy of the prescription handy. Chances of even being asked to produce the scrips are close to nil. Don't sweat it.
