Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that the fever could be related to different possible causes: an infection related to the procedure, an anaphylactic reaction to the contrast, acute renal failure due to the contrast used, etc.
I would like to review his test reports, if you could upload them, for a more professional opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
