Depends: It greatly depends on what the other symptoms are. If it is just fever, it is reasonable to wait; if it is fever and a viral syndrome such as congestion, body aches, and maybe sore throat, then yes, wait. If there is a focal problem, you should add that so we can comment whether it needs to be evaluated immediately.
