Help please?

I just got out of the hospital for an emergency c-section and I now have a fever of 100.5 should I worry since it is low grade? I just don't want to pass it on to my newborn.

Thanks ladies. It's down to 100.2 from a half hour ago with a cold washcloth so I'm gonna wait to call tomorrow cause my fiancé is at work. We forgot my discharge papers in the van before he left and I can't remember any of the signs to call for. Do any of you remember?

Yeah i would let them know. I had an infection in my wound after my emergency section and ended up on antibiotics so as not to pass it to wee man x

I would call or head back to the hospital. It could be the start of an infection and the sooner you catch it the better
