What Causes Fever After Liposuction Surgery?

My Husband had liposuction surgery Wednesday morning. He has been running a fever for the past 2 days. It comes and goes and I ve been giving him Tylenol. Fever is not real high and post op instructions read this is normal but just want to make sure if I need to call his Doctor. He hasn t taken any pain medicine today. He is sore but doing good. Incisions are clean and good. No drainage. He feels very tired and complains of be hot. Do you have any suggestions or concerns? Thank you.

Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that it must be some infection. I advice you to take a Complete blood count to check what is the real problem. If the CBC result is showing it as infection than you should take the antibiotics accordingly to get treated.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
