This is a cut and dry situation, only if or when that temp goes over 100.5 do you pick that phone up. Low grade temp is totally normal after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domi 237 Posted July 13, 2018 Just keep an eye on it and know notice pay attention to how the rest of you feels. I ended up with pneumonia (not due to my surgery at all). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will keep an eye on my fever and other symptoms. Thanks for the reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
