Is Feeling Nauseous And Relapsing Fever Normal After Cholecystectomy?

I am exactly 2 weeks post cholecystectomy (polyps, not gallstones), doing well overall, but in the hospital after surgery I had a fever over 102 for a couple days. It eventually resolved. Now, 2 weeks later I have a temp of 99.4, feeling a bit nauseous. Is this normal? Can it continue longterm? Thank you kindly. Rachel in Israel

Hi welcome to HCM......

I have gone through your query....

After cholecystectomy you have fever with nausea....

Let me know you first infection has to be ruled out after surgery...
Is there pus leaking from that area???
If infection there antibiotic needed...

As here it is 2 week it seems to be post cholecystectomy syndrome like condition that can be due to bile leakage over stomach and adjacent area...
In this case following can occur....
-Nausea
-Upset stomach
-Diarrhea
-Fever(even high grade)

This symptoms can remain for few days to few months...
You can take advise from surgeon for your condition if needed....

Try to avoid fatty food as no bile reservoir present that is gall bladder....

Hope your concern solved......

Take care...
