Brief Answer:
Does not sound like you need to see the doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using 'Ask a Doctor'. Your symptoms sound consistent with a mild viral illness. Your temperature actually appears to be low, but I am not sure how you are checking it and if it is accurate or not. Otherwise, with the weakness, head discomfort, and mild shortness of breath, and with symptoms starting about 4 days ago, I would diagnose this as a viral illness and recommend just symptomatic care, with acetaminophen or Ibuprofen.

Also, I don't know if the COVID-19 virus is around your area, but without a fever or cough, I would not suspect you have it. However, if there are cases close to you, it is a good idea to limit contact with others as much as you can, until 24 hours after your symptoms have resolved.

Only if your shortness of breath worsened would I be concerned enough to advise you to visit a doctor. Otherwise, this will usually begin to improve within a few more days, and within a week or two be completely resolved.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
