Hi,

I really appreciate your concern, if these are the post surgical even having symptoms of pain and fever then it could be due to infection if it is the high grade fever then it demands the immediate medical attention, fever can be managed with Acetaminophen and pain can be managed with Diclofenac, if the infection proved the antibiotic needs to be started, over all such case need close medical attention.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
