Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

The known side effects of amidate are Transient venous pain on injection site, transient skeletal muscle movements including myoclonus, hyper- or hypoventilation, apnea, laryngospasm, hiccup, snoring, hyper- or hypotension, tachycardia, arrhythmias, post-op nausea/vomiting.

There is no report of any fever after 30 hours. There may be some secondary infections behind this fever.
Discuss with your physician to rule out the infective cause.
