If you're experiencing stomach pain and fever for the last 4 days, especially after a hernia operation, it's essential to seek medical attention promptly. Here are some steps you should take: Contact your healthcare provider: Reach out to your surgeon, primary care physician, or the healthcare professional who performed your hernia operation. Explain your symptoms, including the stomach pain and fever, and provide details about your hernia operation. Follow their advice: Your healthcare provider will guide you on the next steps to take. They may ask you to come in for an examination or provide instructions over the phone. It's important to follow their guidance and take their advice seriously. Consider going to the emergency room: If your pain is severe, you have a high fever, or you're experiencing other concerning symptoms, it may be necessary to visit the emergency room. Signs of a potential complication after surgery can include intense or worsening pain, fever, redness or swelling at the surgical site, or any other alarming symptoms. Err on the side of caution if you're unsure. Provide relevant medical information: When seeking medical attention, make sure to inform the healthcare professionals about your recent hernia operation and any other relevant medical history. This information will assist them in evaluating your condition and determining the most appropriate course of action. It's important not to ignore or downplay persistent pain or new symptoms after surgery. While some discomfort is normal during the recovery period, severe or prolonged pain, along with a fever, could indicate a potential complication or infection. |

Protein aids in towel form and mending. Moderate fat input Consume moderate quantities of healthy fats, like those set up in avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil painting. still, avoid inordinate consumption of fried and adipose foods, as they can be harder to digest. Avoid straining During the early stages of recovery, it's judicious to avoid conditioning that may strain your abdominal muscles, similar as heavy lifting or violent physical exertion. Straining can put pressure on the gash area and potentially stymie mending. Small, frequent refections rather of consuming large refections, conclude for lower, more frequent refections throughout the day. This can help help gluttony and reduce the strain on your digestive system. Limit gas- producing foods Certain foods, similar as sap, lentils, broccoli, cabbage, and carbonated potables, can produce gas and beget discomfort. Limiting these foods temporarily might be helpful during your recovery.
