My son came down with a nasty virus over the weekend- high fever, body aches, chills, lethargy, mild sore throat. Apparently it's going around his day camp. Now I came down with it- identical symptoms. This may be a silly question but is there any reason why it would be unsafe for me to have a fever 5 weeks after surgery? I'm running 102.5 when my Tylenol runs out- Tylenol brings it down to about 100.2. I don't have any appetite but I am drinking water and eating jello.

Since your temperature is over 101 I would call my surgeon & check with them. Since you apparently caught what your son has they might say not to worry but with new surgery I wouldn't take any chances. Your immune system might have issues. Hope you feel better soon.
