Fever

I am 2 weeks post op and I think I have a fever, but I don't think it's from the surgery. I think I caught the flu. My whole family has had it except for me. Do you guys think I should call my dr?

Just to be safe I would. He will probably say not to worry, but it's really close out from surgery..so just be safe.

Think it would be a good idea if your fever continues for a little while and isn't helped by Tylenol... If anything you can let them know and ask what is good to take...

Some will say call now it could be something bad! So if your worried its not the flu call :)

How's that for noncommittal :P

I would call because if it is the flu and you caught it early they can give you meds to shorten the duration. The flu can be a very nasty virus. Be careful not to get dehydrated while running fever, that can happen very quickly. Hope you feel better. Keep us posted.
