February 24, 2019
Asked By:faizael in Bangkok, TH

I just had an FUE hair transplant. It has been 5 days now. The problem is I keep getting crazy painful headache since the 2nd day of the transplant. This happens randomly and lasts for aproximately 2 hours. However when I get some pain on my head (ex. from cleaning at the clinic, when I lie down and try to sleep), I'll have the headache soon after. I also keep getting a small fever since the 1st day of surgery.
