If she has a fever that high after having kittens the only thing you can do is take her to the vet as her life is at risk. She could be suffering from .a severe infection due to mastitis, metritis or a retained kitten or she could have hypocalcemia. All of these possibilities require prompt medical teatment that you simply cannot provide at home. Take her to a vet now.
