General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thank you for asking!
breast feeding might have caused the sore nipples and fever might be due to it. get a breast exam and see if there is any likelihood of breast abscess. WIll need antibiotics and if need be incision and drainage of abscess. Don't worry it is very common trouble in lactating mothers.
Rest symptoms are just correlation.seek a general surgeon and let them help you with it.
meanwhile keep the breast empty and use breast pump for milk draining, use warm pads over them and lubricate the nipple to prevent cracks over it.
take care
