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 post-surgical 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 use a thermometer to check your temperature. You can take acetaminophen orally or get an intramuscular injection of metamizole for fever reduction. Oral cefadroxil or intravenous cefixime can be used for treatment. Rest well, exercise less, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, pay attention to your diet, drink more water, eat more easily digestible foods, eat less spicy foods, engage in appropriate activities after meals, and maintain regular bowel movements to prevent constipation.
