2Nd Day Post Op With 100.8 Fever

[Amoore627 4]

So I had my surgery yesterday morning. I was in a lot of pain yesterday, but today has been better. But I've felt like I've had the chills a little bit. I took my temp and it is 100.8. I called the dr and he said to come in to his office tomorrow. But I'm still stressed for right one. Anyone gone through this?

I didn't have one that high, mine went up to 99.9 but I was told if it got up to 101 to call. You were right in calling the doctor and glad he told you to come in. Hope all is well tomorrow.

it's not unusual to spike a little temp after surgery ( just the body's reaction to the procedure) but it's good to notify and see the doc just in case it is infection going on somewhere,,,,

Wow. Home already? My doc keeps you in till at least the next day. The reason I mention that is because that means someone taking bp, pulse, and temp every four hours. I know that my temp never went over 98 (actually never even got to 98), but my point is they are checking for a reason. Call! Let the docs make the decisions, that's what they are paid for. And they want good outcomes also. Feel better!

Sorry! Just realized you have called! I'll blame that on my lowered bp! Keep us informed, and again good luck and feel better fast!
