It looks like your father might be having
- fever due to surgical stress induced systemic inflammation
- persistence of the fistula which has led to an abscess causing fever ...
Next Steps
visit a general surgeon to get evaluated....if it is due to stress then it will most likely subside....if it is due to abscess then your father needs an emergency surgery ( incision and drainage)
