Angela324 13 Posted September 6, 2012 Hi All, I am 1 day post op and have a slight fever (99.5). I usually run low, average temp around 97.6. Does everybody develop a low grade temp? I am hoping this is normal. Surgeon's nurse said if I developed a temp of 101.5 that I should call them. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jd13 25 Posted September 6, 2012 I ran a low fever right after surgery, 99 -101, so the doctor made me stay an extra nite. but he said it was some what normal. Are u still in the hospital or r u home? If it doesn't go away by tomorrow u shoud call ur doctor or go to the ER just to be safe. Hope u feel better soon!

Angela324 13 Posted September 7, 2012 Thank you very much for responding to my post! Sounds like I should be a little concerned. I plan to take it again in the morning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela324 13 Posted September 7, 2012 Forgot to say I'm back home. Dr. Only kept me 1 night. JD,did your Dr. Give you anything like extra antibiotics while he kept you the extra night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bubles089 35 Posted September 7, 2012 I had a fever for 4 days after surgery. I had a bad uti from the catheter. But a fever is your body's response to something knocking its system out of balance like a major surgery. If it gets higher I would be concerned but a low grade one isn't much to worry about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
