What Causes Chills And Hot Flashes At Night After Treating Broken Ankle?
My husband had surgery for a broken ankle. Got hit by a car. The orthopedic surgeon put heavy plates and screws in. This was 2 months ago. He now has a lot of pain, has an open wound on the ankle caused by a blister. His temp now is 96 .6 , he has chills and last night has night sweats , low energy. What could be causing this and is it a cause for worry. He is 73 and has always been in excellent health
