Hello,
Because you had irregular bleeding it is always advisable to have a urinary pregnancy test.
If the test comes out negative, you do not need to worry, just observe how the periods will be in the next few days, this irregularity may happen with stress (as it happened due to the fever you had). It is not anything to worry if periods are irregular for a month or two as long as you rule out pregnancy.
If you are bleeding much more than a usual period or if you have a positive pregnancy test you will need to see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
