Can athletes contineue to play football with head pain and swelling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: These are symptoms that may indicate concussion, bleeding inside the brain. Im not certain where the swelling is but this is not normal. Further athletic activity may worsen the problem. Athletes can be permanently injured or die when symptoms are ignored. Seek medical evaluation. I would also advise a second opinion if there is a team doctor who has given the ok to continue playing the sport.
