mainly monitor symptoms, no need for concern once improving

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

No, this is fine, there are some persons that can a reduced body temperature with infection.

The progression of symptoms would be the main things to monitor meaning that if your symptoms are improving then there is no need to be concerned.

You would monitor your level of pain in the throat / ear, energy level, appetite, activity level.
It can sometimes take up to 2 weeks to feel completely better

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
