Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had an inguinal hernia surgery. After coming home, I started feeling dizzy, as if I had a cold. Could this be a postoperative complication? Now I'm in a lot of pain and want to ask: what should I do if I have a fever after inguinal hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the hernia surgery you have a fever. It is recommended that you can use a thermometer to check your temperature. You can take acetaminophen orally or get an intramuscular injection of metamizole to reduce fever. Oral cefadroxil or intravenous cefuroxime injection can be used for treatment. Rest and avoid exercise, smoking, and alcohol. Pay attention to your diet, drink more water, eat more easily digestible foods, and eat less spicy foods. Engage in appropriate activities after meals and maintain regular bowel movements to prevent constipation.
