Sore throat with phlegm but not sure if I’m having fever

35 yo, past few weeks experiencing on and off very mild cough, then yesterday starts feeling sore throat and today is with greenish phlegm. Not sure if I’m having fever but do feel slightly warmer than usual. Last night got woke up in the middle of the night because the phlegm blocked my breathing, once cleared and it’s OK. No one around me is at high risk except for a few colleagues who travelled to SG or ID, but they seems fine. Do I need to be concerned of anything yet?
