Shivering and fever after cataract surgery, especially a fever above 100.4¬∞F (38¬∞C) for two days, could be a sign of a postoperative fever, a common occurrence after any surgery. While it's usually not serious and resolves on its own, it's important to monitor the symptoms and seek medical advice if it persists or is accompanied by other concerning signs.
