Since you are having low grade fever with joint aching after chemotherapy i would suggest u do blood and urine culture test.
If fever is more than 100.4 D F start oral antibiotics augmentin and levofloxacin.
For joint ache and light fever u can take tablet paracetamol.
Also do blood for CBC/diff test so see the blood counts.
