Answer 1

Fever only if infect: Bartholin cysts without infection do not cause fever.

Answer 2

Yes: Ovarian cyst are hormone dependent. Most of the time we see growth during first stage of pregnancy when the ovary is the source of hormones for the embryo. At aprox 10 wks. The placenta takes over hormone production and the pregnancy becomes independent of the ovary and this is when we expect the cyst to shrink. Nevertheless ovarian chat should have close f/u during pregnancy.

Treat symptoms first: You may offer comfort care with rest, fluids and medication for now and monitor his progress, depending on what type of surgery was performed, it is difficult to accurately guide you perfectly on how to move forward. Contact the surgeon if your son is not improving over the next few days. Sooner if he is not resoonding to your "comfort care.".

Answer 6

Go to ED: Though it is possible that this is a normal reaction for your son, i would suggest taking him to the hospital for an evaluation. There are some rare reactions to anesthesia that can result in elevated temperatures and should be evaluated by a physician.

Answer 7

Yes to ER: Post anesthesia high fever must be evaluated by professional ( doctors ) to make sure it is not triggering to serious malignant hyperthermia , also kids will get convulsions with high fever please take to er and call his doctor.
