Our main concern is that our father is getting fever , post operative care since 19th Jan, he is under constant medication by doctor's team..It's been over the month since low grade fever in evening time is persistent..It is post operative side efects or COVID 19 side effects .Is it normal to have frequent fevers at evening time daily 99-100 degrees..Pls advise..It's important to understand the gravity of cause behind it..Thank you..
