Be checked: A post op temperature may be expected but infection cannot be excluded. Call your surgeon for advice or be seen. I hope you feel better.

Call surgeon and be: checked. Make sure you are deep breathing every hour while awake or use an incentive spirometer, to keep the lung expanded after surgery or you can get a fever.
