is it normal to run a fever 3 days after gall bladder surgery?

I don’t know if its normal but you should definitly give your surgeon or doctor a call just to make sure. They’d know better than anyone since they know your medical history and they are used to those kinds of questions. i would call your doctor. fever is a sign of infection.

My Dad just had a hernia operation and ran a fever for 4 days. I called the Dr the first night, because his temp was over 102. My aunt had bypass surgery and she ran a temp for several days. Her Dr said to keep taking aspirin every four hrs. My Dad had blood test and xrays and it was confirmed nothing going on. I understand many people run into this but no problems afterward.It may be the traumatic our bodies go through and the body is trying to accommodate the difference. I heard it may be from the anesthesia. Many people get chills and run a fever afterwards. Which happened to my daughter when she had several teeth pulled. She had chills so bad, I called their office and they told me that was normal. It happens to some people and it was from the anesthesia. Just inform your DR, just in case.
