5 days post op Persistent temperature 101.5

My surgeon says to call if 102 temp but because the is lingering for 24 hrs at a 101-101.5 is there any cause for concern?

I would call the doctor's office. Anytime your temp is above normal for more than a day, I would be concerned about an infection setting in. I would rather it be nothing than do nothing about it. Good luck to you. Deb

I was constantly running a fever too after surgery. On my discharge papers it said they wanted you to call the doctor's office if you ran a fever over 102 that could not be controlled with tylenol. I would still call your doctor though as every doctor is different. Hope that helps!

My Doc seems to be extremly concerned about a temp over 101°. He says we need to come to his office or the hospital immediatly if this happens. Be careful and good luck.
