Question 1

how to get an fever after got an appendectomy 2 weeks ago ? ( i'm just curious)

Accepted Answer

Appendiceal abscess: Depending on the state of the appendix at the time of appendectomy various problems can arise post surgry.  If marked inflammation present a  collection can develop post surgery defined by CAT and CBC.  If difficult stump left then stump leak or blowout can occur leading to fever. Define dause and see if antibiotics needed.

Question 2

7 years old child vomiting and fever 2 weeks after appendectomy.

Accepted Answer

Could be an abscess: I recommend a follow up visit to either the surgeon or the er.  An abscess after surgery is a very common complication of appendectomy.

Question 3

is it normal to have night sweats with no fever four days after an appendectomy?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your surgeon: May or may not be a sign for concern. Fever may be blunted if taking medications for post-operative pain control that contain anti-inflammatory and / or analgesics (e.g. Ibuprofen, motrin, naprosyn, (naproxen) aspirin, acetaminophen, apap, etc.). Mention this to your surgeon since it could be an early sign of peritonitis.

Question 4

is it okay to get an 39.4 c fever 5 wks after got an lap appendectomy ?

Accepted Answer

See doctor ASAP: Such a high fever is never okay. If you&#x27;re also having pain in the area of the appendectomy, or anywhere in your abdomen, perhaps it&#x27;s realted to the appendectomy. Otherwise, it probably has nothing to do with that. No matter what, see a doctor immediately. Anything causing such a high fever can be very serious. Good luck!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Call your surgeon: Best person to find the cause your problem and treat is your surgeon , will examine and order tests , an abscess may be forming or some thing else.

Question 6

had appendectomy 2 1/2 weeks ago. bowels slowly going back to normal. now have a fever. is it related to the surgery or something else?

Accepted Answer

Fever after appy: Fever after abdominal surgery can be from many sources.  Mild fevers are common.  However, persistent fevers (usually over 101) should be further investigated.  Also, if the fever is associated with increased pain, nausea, vomitting, redness/drainage from your surgery site, pain when you urinate, or a productive cough/shortness of breath then you should see your doctor immediately.

Question 7

i had keyhole appendectomy  3 weks ago. was doing very well but now pain at site where appendix was. no fever. bowels normal. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Probably but..: Can be from muscle/tissue trauma at the site. But check with your doctor to make sure that there are no further complications.

Question 8

i have appendectomy laparoscopy and endo laparoscopy a month ago and my right side is hurting is that normal i feel fine and i'm not running a fever are anything?

Accepted Answer

Well,....: One month after the Lap surgery, the pain should be almost resolved, but everyone is different.  You should see your surgeon who did the procedure and get clinically examined to determine if your symptoms are normal in your course of recovery, or do they warrant further testing, etc.  Best wishes.

Question 9

had an lap appendectomy 2 weeks ago, and now i felt like something hiding behind my lower abdoment ( above the post-op scar ), no fever.is it normal?

Accepted Answer

NO not normal: You need to have a physical post op exam. Call your surgeon

Question 10

had an lap appendectomy 16 days ago, now i feel like my diaphragm become inelastic, no fever, no pain, feeling limp and dizzy sometimes. what is it ?

Accepted Answer

Appy complications: If you are not 100% after a surgery like this, you need to go back to your surgeon for an exam. The problem is, sometimes an 'abscess' can form in the abdomen. This needs to be checked and only a doctor can do that. I hope you will go and see one today.
