The pattern you describe should be everyone's standard practice already. If symptoms are getting worse, particularly acutely, seek medical attention. Importantly, if you think it might be something bad (like COVID-19 or another contagious disease) make sure to make that known to the first and primary medical contacts you make as you seek treatment.
