Hello

Yes , you can fly only if you dont have fever or pain , other wise i would like you to take rest and meet your doctor for a thorough examination to find out what is going on in your body.
the swelling can be due to an infection and you may require antibiotics for it. please meet your doctor for the prescription.
thanks
