5 days post op and fever of 99.7 What should I do?

I agree, I had an elevated temp of 99.9 for a few days in the hospital and it was nothing.  Just take it easy and you should be fine.

I am 6 days post op and wish you the BEST  OF LUCK!

I also had a low grade temp after surgery.. I was told it was my body trying to recover. 3 days later I was back in the Hospital with a temp of 104.7. Jus****ch it and if it get higer then 101 Id go to the ER. :) Better safe then sorry. Good luck to you!!

Drink a little extra fluid today, keep your rooms cool, and while I know it's really uncomfortable take several deep breaths and cough them out about 5 x every hour. Also, if your temp. goes above 100.5 (101 degrees F is considered febrile by most MD's) contact your surgeon.

99.7 isnt a fever. People can average a normal temp of 97.0-100.8 and be fine. If it hits 101 call your doc.

Thanks everyone.  My fever broke this morning, and I am doing fine.  I was concerned last night just because a normal temp for me is about 87.9.  But I guess I was worried for nothing!  Thanks again!
