Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The fever is indicative of infection either of the surgical area or in another aspect of the body.
It would be best to see someone , at least your GP, who would be able to determine the source of the infection.
If it is the surgical area then he or she would be able to refer you to another surgeon.
I hope this helps
