Can Stent Change In Bile Duct Not Be Performed If Suffering From High Fever?
Hi there!,
I was
hospitalized last week for a stent change in the bile duct(ERCP) and had to be returned to hospital after 48hrs due to high fever, now I am home again still feeling low, is this normal? I am in Leicestershire, England with health services from NHS

Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you have put stent in bile duct...
After surgery you have fever....
Mostly after surgery inflammatory mediators released that can lead fever....
You can take simple paracetamol for it....
Get your CRP done....
If still fever day by day increasing then with advise from your doctor antibiotic need to be given as to treat secondary infection ...
Take care...
