Where is your port area ? Do any of you incisions have any red around them, if so draw a circle around it and see if the red area gets bigger. Are they warm to touch ? If the answer is yes to either of the red or warm you may have an infection and will need a antibotic. I would call the doctors answering service they should have a doctor taht would be able to call in something.

GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPS
