Hello,
You have post-partum pyrexia. The source of infection is usually either the urinary tract,or a episiotomy wound. Other causes like dengue etc have been ruled out.
High grade antibiotics should be adequate to treat the infection.
If you still have fever, then there is still a foci of infection somewhere in the body.
After any infection, the ESR is raised. Not to worry about that. If the fever persists, further evaluation is needed.
