Use a thermometer.: Use a thermometer or ear thermometer. You will have symptoms of malaise, tired and a warm skin to touch on the forehead. Drink fluids and try to rest. Call your Dr. office.

Wait 7-10 days: A mild fever can typically be treated at home. Sometimes complications may arise that require a doctor's help. If a mild fever doesn't resolve in 7-10 days see your doctor for consultation.

I have ear pain in both ears that I would definitely consider a mild more towards moderate pain and a low grade fever. This has been going on for two days. Would this be a double ear infection? Do I need to see a doctor or let it go a little longer?
