TXShannon 10 Posted August 13, 2017 My temp is up to 99.7. Should I be concerned? I'm post-op day 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted August 13, 2017 The first week, a slightly elevated temp is normal. Anything over 100.5, run by your doc. If the low grade fever continues past day 8, mention it to your doc. If you start feeling bad... yep, mention it your doc. A temp of 102 or higher is go to the ER. 2 TXShannon and southernbellair79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephanie12579 12 Posted September 9, 2017 The slight fever is your bodies natural defense mechanism to the surgery.... Anything over 100.5 call your Dr otherwise fairly normal and should return to your normal baseline within a few more days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
