<human>: I had a foot surgery on Oct. 11 and a week after surgery I began to run a low grade fever (99.5-100.00) which had recurred ever since with short breaks of 2 or 3 days when it will not occur. I start out the day with no fever and as I am more mobile it will begin around 12 oclock to show up and stay all night. I also have body aches and flushed skin, fuzzy thinking. The foot surgeon has no idea why this is happening but did not begin until surgery. If I have a day when I just basically lay around the fever will not occur or occur much later. Wondering if this could be some form of infection or mild sepsis.
