In this context, should I consult with my child considering the fever that is still present or wait?

My 4 year old has caught a virus and has flu-like symptoms (fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, congestion/chills, muscle aches). The fever is still present after 5 days (38.5). The other symptoms besides fatigue and fever are all gone, he is eating/hydrating well and does not ask for medication to feel better. He is not complaining and even says he feels fine. Should I consult or wait?

Good morning, ma'am,
If your child has had a fever for 5 days, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.
