I think i have one splinter hemorrhage on each of my index fingers should i see a doctor about it?

Fever?: I assume you're worried about infective endocarditis and that you're a health care provider? The vast majority of splinter hemorrhages are due to trauma and not related to infection. If you're not having fever, rigors, sweats, anorexia, malaise, and weakness, I'd let it go.
