High fever post ureteroscopy

2024-01-03 16:05:36
Hi, my mother aged 70 years has undergone ureteroscopy and stenting on 1st January, 2024. She was diagnosed with a calculus in her ureter. Post her surgery she is suffering from high fever. Is this normal? Please note she is diabetic, obese and takes eltroxin 25 mg. Post her surgery her sodium levels also dropped and doctor has reduced her fluid intake to 2.5 lts per day. My question is- 1) how long will the fever take to subside and after how many days can we take her home. 2) why is she having a fever? is there anything to worry?
