I am 2 days post op and I keep having a fever on and off i keep getting cold chills and then a fever, is this normal? I am taking oxycodone and an antibacterial infection medicine.
Answer: I am 2 days post op, is it normal for me to keep having a minor fever on and off? You should take your temperature with a termomether because sometimes is not a matter of fever but of dilatation of the blood vessels in the surgical area, wich is normal.Keep in contac with your PS.

Answer: Yes it can be Thanks for the question. This can be normal after surgery. Some believe it is from the collapse of the lungs, and others think it from the inflammatory process occurring in the body. But....it could be something related directly to surgery. If its under 101.....I would just keep an eye on it. If it goes higher than that, I would want my patient to give me a call and come into the office for evaluation.
