Unless your baby is having cold and nose block no special precautions are required during air travel. Only pain medicine which can be given to infants is paracetamol. If your baby becomes irritable and crying you can safely give paracetamol syrup

Next Steps

Consult nearby Paediatrician or ENT specialist for more information regarding precautions to be taken during air travel
