If you're allowed an anti-inflammatory, wouldn't know why not, some sort of ibuprofen should help more with the fever and swelling. Ketoprofin, like Orutdi works really well, especially if other bother your stomach, it won't.
Please let us know what you find out tomorrow. Am praying for you.

Thank god you can get in sooner- it's a bit troublesome for me to think you're still running a temp. Hopefully the endo will get to the bottom of it! Hey while you;'re there don't forget to complain about that nasty office woman!
Best Wishes~

Pls let us know as soon as you get home .........................1,000mg's ev. 4 hrs not to exceed a certain am't of dosing is tops right? If not coming down may be bacterial.
One more day and hopefully answers!!! And the right ones!!!!

You know, I worked with nurses for years and was told you should not always treat a low grade fever with anything more than rest and increased fluid (preferably plain water) intake because it is useful for fighting off infection.
If it gets around 102 then it may be serious. The thyroid problem itself could cause an elevated body temp too.
They say hypos tend to be cold, hypers tend to be hot but I am hypo and I hate heat.. period. Always have hated it. Still do.
That is good right? could just be your body right now....Hang in there and let us know how the appt goes tomorrow with the Endo...
I don't have any answers but sure do hope you feel better soon!! Let us know! That fever stuff is SO miserable! Good luck!

ok....endos office called me back. wouldnt give the numbers but said I was REAL low......also said that should make me cold not hot????????? She moved my appointment up to tommorrow. So I said this IS a fever then and probably post op....she said I needed to be seen sooner by the endo and he'll figure this out.
