What is the temperature, do you have pain near operated area. If your post op dressings are fine, then probably fever is not related to the surgery.
It is likely that you were operated under spinal anesthesia, in which a needle in back is used to make legs numb. You may have post spinal headache. For that rest, plenty of fluids and occasional pain killer too will help, but it takes time
Consult with me or other Orthopedic for wound inspection
