Hello doctor! My wife is 56 years old, open cholecystectomy and the entire left liver since March 13. After 14 days of discharge from the hospital, when I went home, everything was fine, the incision was cut since I was still in the hospital, the condition was good. The incision is not swollen, not red, so far back home, eat many snacks a day. But until yesterday, my wife had pain inside her abdomen and accompanied by a high fever. Yesterday my wife had a fever of more than 37 degrees, today it was nearly 38 degrees, the pain appeared intermittently and didn't last long, about every 2-3 hours. I looked at the incision and the outside was still dry, nothing out of the ordinary. The doctor asked me, what is wrong with my wife, is there an infection inside the abdomen? Should my wife take or inject antibiotics, doctor? Looking forward to hearing from your doctor. I thank the doctor.
