You don’t mention what you classify as a low grade fever. If you have a temperature of 101 or below, it is what we refer to as a “working temperature” and is the body’s natural reaction to a bug of some kind. Hardly anything to worry about. The worst thing people do is to take aspirin or something like it to lower their temperature. The fever you are experiencing is the body’s attempt to rid itself of the invader, so a fever is healthy. Lowering the temperature artificially allows the invader to thrive actually making you sicker.
Honestly, unless my boys ever had a temperature of 104 or above, we never bothered with a doctor. We kept them quiet, hydrated, limited their diet to bananas, rice, applesauce and toast with clear liquids and generally, with 48 hours they were running around like madmen.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the bird flu. Unless the bird pooped in your mouth or eyes, there’s so little chance of infection you needn’t worry.
Relax for a day or two and remember to stay hydrated and you should be fine. I wish you the best of luck.
