Postoperative ascites may cause fever. It is possible for a patient to develop peritonitis after surgery, which not only causes ascites, but also fever due to the inflammation.
If a patient develops ascites and fever after surgery, it is mostly due to peritonitis, which is caused by an infection that occurred during the surgery. Peritonitis is a condition in which the peritoneum is inflamed and water leaks into the abdominal cavity, causing ascites to develop. Inflammatory factors enter the bloodstream in large quantities during an inflammatory attack, which can lead to fever.
Postoperative ascites with fever should be treated in the context of the actual situation. Usually a small amount of fluid will be absorbed by the body, but too much fluid will need to be drained by puncture in order to avoid high pressure in the abdominal cavity.
At the same time the infection is more serious, need to be treated with intravenous ceftriaxone sodium, moxifloxacin and other strong antibiotics. For those with high body temperature, intravenous rehydration and intravenous lysergic acid can be used.
