Patient's question:
Now, it hasn't been ten hours since the surgery, and I've already experienced this fever again. As parents, we are really worried. What should we do if the child has a fever after an inguinal hernia surgery? Is this a symptom that always appears after the surgery? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric inguinal hernia is a common surgical procedure, and currently, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is the main clinical diagnostic method. Based on your description, the recurrence of high fever ten hours after surgery may be due to surgical stress. It could also be caused by a cold or other reasons; generally, incision infection would not recur so quickly. It is recommended to use antipyretic drugs, such as Motrin, and to drink more water, provide warm compresses, etc.
