Re: Worried about Fever after surgery

[Guest guest]

- it is normal for kids to run a fever of up to 101 after the T & A.

Anything higher should warrant a call to the doctor. Given that the child

just had surgery I would think the doctor would err on the side of caution

and treat it as an infection. Good luck with the surgery. Calder just had

his T & A last Wednesday and is doing great. Because the doctor recommended

keeping up with the tylenol, he has not really run a fever over 99. I have

not heard of any posts to this group that discussed a fever cycle after the

T & A.

Our ENT discussed the same issue.  Our son was due for a fever 4 days

after surgery, he actually never fevered at all after the surgery - and the ENT

said it was normal for children to run a low fever after a T & A.  We were both

surprised.  The ENT said because of Tyler's condtion () he didn't know what

would happen - I think he believed the fever may end up higher than other

children's, and then he didn't have a fever at all.

 

That was in August - he has now missed 10 fevers since his surgery (he used to

fever every 2 weeks). 

 

Best Wishes to Lucas and a hopefully quick recovery.

I would think that for precautionary reasons that he should be put on a course

of antibiotics just for prophylaxis after the surgery.

Our son was given anti-biotics after his T & A.  Also, they are given prednisone

as a routine part of the surgery is what our ENT told us.
