Hi guys! So I'm a week postop today. I've noticed a couple to three times a day I get so hot and flushed. My face neck ears all turn bright red. My mom panics and takes my temp. It's always normal. What's going on?? Should I call doc??

Thanks guys.

Oh yeah....and it lasts for like 30-45 mins!

Are you taking any pain meds? I am 8 days post op and had the same reaction to Loratab. Had to have my doc switch my pain meds.

I'm taking Hydrocodone.

I believe that is the generic name for Loratab. I had no other symptoms, just flushing. If you're having more then flushing you might consider calling your doctor.

Lortab is hydrocodone with acetaminophen. It is notorious for causing facial flushing.

Thanks guys! I appreciate it! You've made me feel better :-)
