Low Grade Fever

[BoBann 42]

Have had a low grade fever since surgery on the 24th of May. I was kept in the hospital an extra day. Discharged on Sunday, readmitted on tuesday for a temp of 101. No leaks found. Pain is normal leave. I can move around fine. Doc gave me some antibiotics and sent me home. I am still running a low grade fever. I was told to not call doc until it was 101. Did anyone else run a fever? Is it just from the stress of surgery?

I only ran a very low grade fever at 99.9 for a 2-3 days. How long have you been on the antibiotics? Make sure you are getting plenty of fluids and try to keep moving. You know your body, so if you get really concerned, CALL HIM ANYWAYS!

I ran temps in the 99.6 range for a whole week, but if it gets over 100 or so anymore I'd check with your surgeon again.

I ran a low grade temp for a few days. Went to Er when it spiked one night. Everything was said to be ok. Now I've been in the hospital for 6 days with a leak. I'll have more tests Sunday to determine if it's wait and see or if I need surgery. Pay close attention to the pain. Mine got really bad but the fever never did.

I had a post op temp for 10 days. Nothing was wrong . Finally just went away
