Fever 2Nd Day Post Op

[Amoore627 4]

So I had my surgery yesterday morning. I was in a lot of pain yesterday, but today has been better. But I've felt like I've had the chills a little bit. I took my temp and it is 100.8. I called the dr and he said to come in to his office tomorrow. But I'm still stressed for right one. Anyone gone through this?

You have done the right thing and called your Dr. He obviously thinks it is Ok for you to see him tomorrow. In the meantime keep your fluids up, rest, take your pain meds and if it gets worse go to emergency.

Hope your ok. I was told directly by my surgeon a fever of 99 or 100 is an ok thing because the body is in a healing state but anything over the 100 mark To call immediately. Good luck!

Yea I just had my surgery today. They did say if it was 100- 101 to call. I took my temp when I got home it was 100.5 so I got a cool cloth put it over my face an reclined in the recliner and took my sons liqui advil took my temp again 30 mins later it went down to 99.5 ( the children's advil is great!) just try and relax yourself and use a heating pad to break the chills maybe? And a cool cloth.. Good luck!! Update us!!
