Yes it is normal to have fever till 100* F. As u had iv line, beside during surgery lots of chemical hormones are released which cause fever. But if the fever is there for long time then see ur surgeon for right decision of treatment further.

Not for so long,post op fever subsides in 2 days, today it's been 6 days so that's not normal, get it evaluated by the treating surgeon.
