Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 61 year old male. Over a week ago I contracted a virus with sore throat and lots of congestion. I thought I was over it, but yesterday, my fever spiked, and tonight it is 102.3 F. I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and am scheduled to have surgery to remove in on May 19. I have been taking ibuprophen for two days, but to little avail. What should I do now.My wife wants me to ask if I could have an infection from the biopsy. I don't have any pain nor bleeding.

Thanks to HCM sir I can understand your concern don't worry ,it is the infection of virus or bacterial in throat as your thtroat is congested ,it is the inflammatory reaction of virus
just take antibiotic and antipyretics like paracetamol 500 for 5 days along with salt water gargling
