I had surgery on Tuesday the 30th. I got to come home on Wednesday and ever since I've been running a fever. Is this normal?

I would call your doctor right away. A fever can be a sign of some sort of infection. I have never heard of anyone having a fever afterwards.

Call your Dr ASAP. You could have a leak.

What's your temp? When I came home my temp was 99.3 for a few days.

The first day home it got up to 100.5, today it varied started out as 99.1 and got up to 100.9

I ended up w/a fever the day after when I was sup to be leaving the hospital, I ended up staying another night cus of the fever, you need to call your Dr

I called surgeons nurse. She told me to rotate pain meds and tylenol, also said she would page my surgeon and let him know. But that normally they don't get roo concerned unless fever gets to 101.5

I had a fever and ended up staying an extra night in the hospital. My fever was due to several things...not getting up to walk enough...not using my Inspirometer to help my lungs rid themselves of the anesthesia and because I wasn't getting in enough fluids. Im slow to metabolize anesthesia...so had trouble waking up enough to do all those things. Once I was fully awake...started walking...drinking...and inflating my lungs...my fever went away.

Thanks. I told the nurse I was havin trouble with intake and had a headache and until I got the phenagren it was hard for me to keeo anything from feeling like it was coming up. I hope its that I was starting to get dehydrated and that I can fix that.

Dehydration can easily cause your temp to go up. Push those fluids.

Yes I'm working on that! Thank you. I kind of thought that may have something to do with it.
