Is Flying Safe While Having Bump On Head Due To An Injury?
I fell flat on my Back in the driveway an hit my head on the asphalt ...I have a very big bump on my head but Don t seem to have the symptoms of concussion except having seen a few stars just after the fall ...my question is if I continue to feel ok and have no symptom until late tonight is it safe to fly to Florida tomorrow?
In my opinion, you will not have any problem in flying. However if you have severe headaches, vision problems, giddiness, vomiting or any other health related issues, you need to visit a doctor and avoid your travel.
Seeing few stars immediately after fall is not a cause of worry. It is a common thing.
