As long as it has been prescribed by a doctor, he can carry it. But you should keep it in the prescription box with his name, which must match the name on his boarding pass or ticket.

They are now allowing inhalers aboard airplanes if you have a letter from your doctor stating that you must have it with you at all times. If you only need it every 4-6 hours and the flight is only 3 hours long, unless his next dose was while you were in-flight, then no you would not be allowed to take it on board.

Yes, you would be ermitted to bring the medication on for your son. But, I would go a step further and bring a doctor's note and his number so that if they need to contact the doctor themselves, they can do so without any problems. That way, you could preceed to go on the plane with the medication.
This is a "just in case" scenario.
