Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter (2 years) had an adenoidectomy yesterday at 8 AM. She has been running a fever, which rose to 103.8 during naptime. She is currently at 101.5. I m unsure if it s from a cold or from an infection to the operation site. Does she need to go to the emergency room or should we wait until Monday and call the surgeon.
HI Well come to HCM If this was the appendicitis then fever is very likely and some time this may last for some days could be due to poor response of antibiotic in my opinion just wait for some time, if condition does not improved then changing of antibiotic would be necessary or some differential diagnosis nee to be considered, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
