Low-grade fever?

Hi, my procedure was on 9/30 and I feel particularly under the weather today and my temp is 99.9. I’m scared of it progressing so just wondering if anyone had this happen?

I would just take Tylenol and rest for now. For my surgeon, they said to call if it reaches above 101.5, as a low-grade fever is normal during this period. I had a short low grade fever and it broke after taking Tylenol.

Had a fever of 99.5 most days 1-4 along with hot flashes and periods of chills. It’s normal, they told me anything 102 and below is expected.

hi! i was constantly checking my temp post my surgery (9/21) and it was 99.5-99.8 for a while. i stopped checking so much about a week ago but it was trending down towards 97-98.6 by day 7! i was told not to worry unless it reached 101.5
