Why My Husband Is Having Hot And Cold Flashes Consecutively?
my husband is having hot flashes immediately followed by a cold chill/flash that lasts a couple of minutes. this is happening after he had a partial vertebrectomy about 2 weeks ago. any idea what this could be from and how long he can expect it to last?

Hai, any operative procedure post operative signs and symptoms are common, and may prolong at least 5 days to long depending on the patient immunity, it could be due to the healing process of the operative site, some time it might get infected due to poor hygiene and bad healing, so I would suggest you to visit your doctor and inspect the site of procedure and follow up. Thank you.
