Is Flying Safe While Suffering From Cellulitis?

My daughter was in hospital for two weeks with cellulitis and we had to cancel a holiday to Florida under advice. She was on IV antibiotics. She was discharged last week and is on antibiotics for two more weeks but able to come home as it was clear. It has come up in her arm today and we were going to fly on Sunday. Is this possible or would you advise not too?

Hi,

You can fly safely while suffering from cellulitis.

It won’t worsen your symptoms.

Continue antibiotics and wishing you good health.
