Chills can be due to post operative Infection or inflammation

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I think you got operated for Haemorrhoids (piles).Chills can be due to postoperative infection or inflammation.
If there is bleeding,it will be visible and the undergarments will become blood stained.
You should take Antibiotic and Anti inflammatory tablets.
It will come down.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
