I have a fever of 99.1 should I be worried?!


Question: I just had my tonsils out 3 1/2 weeks ago. I have a bit of a runny nose and my throat is still a little sore. I was just at the doctors 4 days ago and I was fine. Could it just be I'm still healing that is causing the fever?

You poor thing, you'll be fine. Take some Tylenol for now and call your doc in morning you may have developed an infection. As long as you maintain a low grade fever though I wouldn't stress it too much!

Any fever could be significant, if it persists through this time tomorrow, call your doctor on friday and ask for direction

yep, you should go to the hospital NOW!!!!!! AHHHHHHH

That's a very low grade fever...take some tylenol and see if it goes down. If it is back up (and higher than 99.1) tomorrow morning then call your doctor. Hope you feel better!

Didn't you get an instruction sheet to accompany you home form your procedure? This is exactly the type of thing they inform you about on those sheets. If you didn't get any instructional guides from your doctor/surgeon, you should call them and ask, just to be on the safe side.

no win it get to 105 yes go to the ER. Take a fever reducer if it gets up to 102up
