While some swelling and a heavy sensation can be normal parts of the healing process, a postoperative fever of 100.9?F should not be ignored, even if your pain is mild and you have taken Dolo 650 (paracetamol). I recommend contacting your surgeon's office today rather than waiting a day or two. It is always safest to let your surgical team evaluate a new fever to rule out any early infection or hematoma. Please rest, stay hydrated.
