Had Uterus Removal Surgery. Had Infection, Given Medicines. Having Fever During Nights. Suggestions?
My wife 55 yrs old went through uterus removal operation 20 days back through general surgery and not by laproscopy . Everything going fine. But she gets fever in between 99.5 and sometimes upto 100 degrees. We consulted our doctor and she prescribed some tests and said that this is due to pus cells and have given medicines for urine infection etc followed by antibiotics. In the morning temp becomes normal but in the night again it reached 99.5. Can you furnish your suggestions .Thanks

hi there, as your doctor has suggested it could be because of urinary infection or due to infection of the surgical wound. Use the antibiotic prescribed by the doctor for the full course and and then see the result. If she still continues to have fever then the wound site should be inspected for any residual infection and treated accordingly. Take care.
