A member asked:

Has mild fever, cough and congestion. she has a 2 old week baby. should she see a dr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Anyone 2 weeks out from a delivery would benefit from discovering whey they have fever and whether it could make baby sick. The fever may or may not be related to the congestion and could be a complication of her delivery. It deserves at least a phone call to her doc.
