Hello! I had an extended TT, MR and lipo of flanks yesterday. During surgery, my temp spiked to 102; concerns for malignant hyperthermia. Gases stopped and meds given IV. No muscle relaxer. My temp was over 103 in recovery; sent to the ER - had a breathing treatment for wheezing and sent home. Anyone been sick during recovery so early and what have you done to manage? Coughing is not fun. Recommendations on how to manage a productive cough? Bracing, incentive spirometer, etc. Thanks!
