Low fever / run down 6 days post-op
I had septoplasty and turbinate resection last Friday 5/15, with the splints being removed Monday 5/18. I'm admittedly a bit of a hypochondriac, and I think the doc may have undersold the recovery process in general (I coach LL for my son and originally he told me I should be able to make the game on 5/16, the day after... yeah, obviously that did not happen), but I just wanted to do sort of a sanity check to make sure the symptoms I'm having are normal, and I trust actual experiences over checklists from random websites.
Starting 5/18 I've run a low-grade fever on and off, forehead temp maxing at about 100.3 with the temp right around the nose and cheeks being slightly higher. I've read a lot of accounts of this happening so I wasn't too concerned, but I feel like it should be going away by now? Today particularly I've also felt pretty flu-ish and run-down with it, more than I have the past few days.
I was given Amoxicillin after the procedure and will finish that today, so I'm concerned that I should maybe ask for more / something stronger? On the other hand I don't know if I'm just worrying over nothing. If anyone has any thoughts I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
