reaccuring fever after heart stents

My boyfriend went in on Friday to get his heart catheter.  He had two stents put in and had to spend the night.  Well today is Wednesday and he is still in the hospital.  He keeps getting high fevers at least every day if not twice a day.  The highest one was 102.8.  No one can figure out what is causing them.  He has had his chest, groin and lungs checked and everything looked good.  They have also been taking blood everyday and we have not heard of them finding anything.  Yesterday they stopped all his meds including his pain pills to try to figure out if a combination of something was causing it.  The night nurse did however give him a blood pressure pill and a cholestorol pill.  I dont think those two would cause this.

I was wondering if there is any none cases of someone having an allergic reaction to the medication that is on the stents.  That is the only thing I can think of that would cause it.  It is the only thing that is different about him.

Please help, I am desperate and so scared of these fevers
