When to Call the Doctor: Warning Signs After Discharge

Knowing when to seek medical attention after discharge is critical for safe recovery. Call your doctor or go to urgent care if you experience: fever over 100.4F (38C), increased pain not controlled by medication, wound redness/swelling/warmth or discharge, shortness of breath, chest pain, confusion, or inability to urinate. Keep a written list of your discharge instructions and medications visible. Create a simple symptom diary with date, time, temperature, pain level (1-10), and any concerns. When in doubt, call — it’s always better to be safe. Most offices have an on-call nurse available 24/7.
