Yes, you should definitely concern about hypothermia.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely concern for hypothermia.
Fever (raised temperature) and hypothermia (low temperature) are signs of infection.
Persistent coughing, phlegm etc are suggestive of infection more.
So better to consult your doctor and start broad spectrum antibiotic like levofloxacin or azithromycin once a day for 5 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
