Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My brother aged 35 years has undergone a kidney stone surgery on 21st and from 28th, he is suffering from high fever (mostly 104 F) with shivering. The doctor has removed the stent on 31st but the fever has continued with shivering. There is no detection of dengue, malaria, or sepsis. What is the cause of high fever? Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The stent and its removal induce inflammation which in turn can lead to fever. Paracetamol 500 mg SOS can be prescribed for fever. An antibiotic course can also be prescribed along with that to fight any mild infection if present. I suggest you investigate with CBC (complete blood count) as well. Consult your urologist for examination and discuss the management. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
