What Causes Slight Elevation In Blood Sugar?

I am a 65 yr old male. I had a hip replacement 12/30/14 and recent hand reconstruction 4/1/15. I have re-cooperated from my hip but a couple wks before my hand surgery I was ill vomiting, seats, chills fever. I think it was the flu. The last couple weeks I have been fatigued and for the last 7-8 days I have been low grade fever, coughing, shortness breath, bad sweats and chills, no appetite. Went to dr last Wednesday Apr 29th and chest X-Ray showed no fluid in lungs and white blood count showed little elevation in sugar but dr said normal. Any suggestions?

He prescribed augmented and a cough syrup. My cough is better but I have all of the other systems still.
