jazzy Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Is it normal to run fever after having surgery 4 days ago? My discharge info says if you have any problems including a fever and you think its related to surgery to contact either Dr Martinez or Dr Ortiz. I don't think it would hurt to give them a call.

Sandflea Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Is it normal to run fever after having surgery 4 days ago? What is your temperature? Do you have any redness, warmth around the incision sites? You need to contact Dr. Ortiz immediately! Possible post-op infection is serious. Call him.

LoriBecky Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Beery I called and left you a message - if you are still running a fever call me or the clinic immediately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beery Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 OK, I found out why. Apparently I need to be doing my deep breathing. This will cause you to have a low grade fever if you aren't fully expanding your lungs after surgery.... Now I know. #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
