Persistent fever of a low-grade

Question

Asked for Female, 33 Years

I went to my doctor the other day because I woke up with a sore throat. the doctor diagnosed me with a viral infection in my throat and allergies. she gave me nose spray and ibuprofen. when I went in my temperature was 99.0 which she considered a low-grade fever. tomorrow will be a week since I went to the doctor and I still have a 99.0 fever. it fluctuates from time to time. I called back to see if this was normal and she said if my fever goes above 102.should I be concerned about my fever?
