What Is The Constant Low Grade Fever And Pain In Legs?
Hi Dr., My husband had surgery 6 months ago to remove a small cell carcinoma from his lung. (wedge resection) He had a fever during the day last month for 24hrs. then another episode last night. Also aches and pains in legs. Not the night sweats that he used to get from Hodgkins Lymphoma (that he had 23 yrs ago). His fever was 101 then turned low grade. Since this has happened twice, could it be a complication 6mos after surgery or is it a sign of a blood clot? Thank you, karen

Thanks to HCM I can understand your concern here I would like to know the medication what he is using right now for follow up of small cell carcinoma of lung anyway it may be due to infection in body just undergo once CBP, ESR ,OTHER FEVER PROFILE to rule out infection type
as fever is low grade once have a test of chest X RAY , AS WELL AS SPUTUM FOR AFB .
HE can take for fever , paracetamol and antibiotics for 5 days .
I think he will recover ..
don't worry there wont be any blood clot .. ok
after the reports once have a consultation with pulmonologist .. ok
