The next day, the throat kept overflowing with saliva, swallowing food or water was difficult, there was phlegm in the throat. So the doctor asked me if the fever after mastoid otitis media is okay?

Hello,
With the question Ask “Fever after mastoid otitis media is okay? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
An increase in the body weight less than 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) after mastectomy is normal for the first few days after surgery. However, the specific surgical method for each patient may be different, and for drainage placement and postoperative care, you should follow the instructions of the chief surgeon. In case of fever greater than 38 degrees C (100 degrees F), it is necessary to re-examine and further evaluate the risk of surgical site infection or other infections and lesions, if any. In your case there are additional throat problems causing difficulty swallowing. Your doctor recommends you to have a follow-up examination and further evaluation of the problem.
If you still have questions about fever after mastoid otitis media, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
