I had a tummy tuck with lipo on Thursday this week. Im running a fever usually around 100 to 100.7. My pain is manageable and I'm taking my pain meds oxycodon with acetaminophen. Should I worry about this or can it wait until I see my dr later in the week? I'm also taking my antibiotics as directed.
