Would It Be Bad Idea To Fly If Suffering From Concussion?
Hi, my son suffered a pretty bad concussion and has been in pain for 1 week. He has had two cat scans and has been to E.R. twice. I want him to come home but he lives far away. The easiest way to get him to california would be to fly him. would that be a bad idea to fly him home?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I could say that if there is no serious brain injury and no clinical symptoms is there like, convulsion, vomiting, alter the sensorium then travel by air would be no problem, hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
