3 Weeks Post-Op Explant Surgery, I Have Low Grade Fever and Still Hurt. Infection?

Deflated
My implants were removed after having 15 infections and 2 "explore" surgeries over a 5 year period. My breasts are still tender and I am now running a low grade fever for 2 days. I had a drain for 3 days on the infected breast. Is it possible that I am infected again?
