Low grade fever after abscess drainage surgery?

[nogutsnoglory]

Is low grade fever normal after perianal abscess drainage with seton placement?

How long has it been since the surgery noguts? Depending on that, if I were you I'd think about calling my medical team! Sending you lots of hugs!!!

It's a week now. Low grade fever at night only. During the day totally normal. It was like that before surgery though for 2 months.

I think I'd let them know and tell them that it hasn't gotten any better...

I think a low grade fever is pretty common for us Crohnies. I'm usually over 99.5 in the evening, it's just my normal. You could give them a heads up though, but mention it's not new.

I normally have no fever just since abscess and drainage

Two months is a long time, maybe you should talk to someone. Fever can be your body fighting off inflammation. I seem to get low grade fevers when I'm flaring. Do you have a nurse or nurse practitioner you can call?

You should get a blood test at the very minimum. I would get checked out for sure, especially since it isn't normal for you. I hope all goes well.

I've had 2 abscesses drained but never a fever afterwards.
