I get your point but please don’t go to the doctor just for an isolated low grade fever (fyi fever is 100.4 and above). Stay home and take a fever reducer is the correct answer. No need to come into a doctors office/ER and get vulnerable people sick.

Yeah, the NHS tells people to stay at home unless:

• the fever doesn't get better after 5 days
• you have other symptoms

You'd get told off if you went to doctor or casualty with a low grade fever.
