Keep temperature chart. Most common reason of fever after delivery is breast engorgement. Examine breasts for any hardness or lump and pain. If so, extract breast milk; till they become soft. If there is any infection or abscess consult doctor immediately. She can feed when temperature is not there. Consult your gynecologist for medicines and investigations for fever.
