My wife just had a colonoscopy today along with endoscopy. The did a biopsy of her esophagus. Now she is running a low grade fever of 99 to 99.4. Is this normal? The discharge instructions say call your medical doctor if you have a fever but our MD does not have an on call. She s very scared she may have an infection. She has cancer and also just got over a respiratory infection.
