DS had testicle torsion surgery on Thursday night into Friday Morning. Everything seemed fine, and we came home Friday. We went back to the hospital via 111 yesterday he had spiked a fever up and down with Calpol. There, we saw the surgical team, who found a lump and sent him for an ultrasound, which was most unpleasant for him. It shows everything down there is aggressive and inflamed. He has an infection in both epididymis, which they said is most unusual. He was started on co-amoxiclav yesterday; his fever has been fine for the last 24 hours, and he has been well enough to pop to the shops with us today, he came back, had a nap, and now has another fever at 38.4 and feels cold and wants a blanket. I have taken away the electric blanket and given a light one instead . He was also vomiting in the night
I don't want to feel like a nuisance, but at what point do I take him back to the doctor? How long do I give the antibiotics time to work? Sorry I am really anxious as he only seems to be going down hill
