What to do if i have fever of 101.0 f 5 days after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Call your surgeon: Fevers developed in this time frame are concerning for a possible surgical site infection. Call your surgeon's office and let them know what's going on. Chances are they will refer you to the Emergency Room.
