2 weeks after surgery she had a fever l. The surgeon changed antibiotic and she was ok. The breast was starting to heal (the redness was getting better). After 5 weeks she was running a fever again and her breast was red again. He changed her meds again. She has no fever. I am very worried. What should I do. My wife goes to Doctor Tuesday
I had double mastectomy in 2006 and exchanged my silicone implants for saline 2/2013.About a month ago I started getting redness on the non-cancerous breast, preceded by chills (no fever) and aches and pains like the flu , and a pulled muscle feeling under the armpit,just prior to the rash. I feel better the next day and the rash recedes in about 4 days.
On the 1st of July 2013 I had my operation and I have a tissue expander now. I`ve lived with a fever 100,5 for 2 weeks. I manage it with paracetamol but it slowly goes up again. Inside expander is 220 ml (max 300 ml). Lymph is coming out. Leucocytes are high. Doctor says it is such reaction of my body. He says breast looks good, it is not red. He thinks I dont have infection. Antibiotics didnt help. Do I need to worry? Can it be such answer from my body? Is there any risk to take the expander out?
