My test report shows MPV as 13.7 and RDW as 16.8. Is this a problem? Could you please suggest?

I have a slit in my uterus, and I can see two flaps of flesh coming out of it. The slit is now healing quickly. However, I have been having a continuous fever for the last three days. I visited a doctor who examined my blood report and said I have a bacterial infection.
