Fractured eye socket....and nose are dangerous.......,
Because if it is going to delay...drastic changes like blood pooling in the ..

hence first ruled out any emergency....then only go to other places...
even 10 minutes delay also gives so dangerous ........signs o.k..,
good luck....,

Hi.... If the injury was not severe one and there was no signs of head injury, there should not be any problems with flying..
