The night I got my silicone cohesive gel implants removed, I had such bad fever and chills I couldn't sleep. Is this normal?

I left a message for my doctor this afternoon but he hasn't called back and they are closed now! The day after I was so exhausted from fever I slept most of the day with very sore breasts. It's coming to the end of day 2 and I am still feverish with no energy and my entire boobs are so itchy! I was perfectly healthy before the explant! Symptoms are alarming me
