Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is sometimes common to have a fever during post-operation period. No need to worry. Just try to check for infection in operated place. I suggest you give him tablet Paracetamol.
If symptoms persist do consult a physician for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini
