Fever Help

[Evolving 973]

My temp is usually low- around 97.6 and now it is 99.4 so that feels high for me - I'm scared and can't reach the dr til Monday..

Any of u have fevers?? I never had the drain put in and it was relatively an uncomplicated surgery-- But I'm freaked out-- I've never had a bladder/ kidney infection-- or anything other than pneumonia, sinus, and bronchitis -advise??

I didn't want to take the liquid baby ibuprofen as if I have an infection I'd need to know-- but gave used a cool washcloth on forehead and neck--

Sorry just freaked out and scared

I had a low fever days 2-4 My dr said it was normal. It's due to your metabolism changing.

I had a fever the first week! 4 days after surgery it went above 101° and called the surgeon. He said it happens and I felt normal besides fever. It went above 103 but went aways after 6 days with no infection. My normal temp is 97.7°

I had the same experience. My temp usually runs low. Day 4 or 5 post op my temp went up to almost 100. I went off my pain meds so I could determine how high it would go. It never topped 100 and after a couple of days, went back down. No infection. I forgot to even mention it to the doctor.

A little fever is normal. You're healing and that can tax your body. What you want to watch out for is a fever that goes higher than 101, which is one of the indicators of infection.
