A member asked:
Have fever, lethargy and headache 2 weeks after hernia operation. should i wait to see if fever subsides or see a doctor?

See a doctor: Fever after surgery could indicate an infection. This may have nothing to do with your surgery but infections after surgery can be serious so I advise seeing a doctor to be safe.
