Getting hot and cold flushes 4 days after surgery to remove infection from big to that had 3 breaks and a fracture! what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection postop: It sounds as if the infection is still active and may be getting worse. You must go back and see the surgeon and request that if there is any question that they contact an internist or infectious diseases expert for further assessment. Good luck.
