Port question.

I was wondering how often I should take my temperature when i have my port accessed and are at home. I’m having to connect and disconnect each day..the needle is staying in for a week. My neutrophils are low but not critical. I got conflicting advice from day care. One nurse said it’s not necessary and one said every 4 hours. The written information says to present to ED if I get a fever but no regime suggested.

Thank you.

Carol.
