A member asked:
What to do if i have fever 2 days post op management?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post op fever: Low grade post-op fever is fairly common. The most common early post-op cause of fever is lung atelectasis (collapse of the tiny gas exchange sacs) which can be prevented by frequent deep inspiration and/or use of an incentive spirometer. Later causes of fever may include urinary tract infection, wound infection & deep vein thrombosis (blood clot). High fever warrants urgent evaluation.
