Agreed. A thermometer is just a tool for determining temperature, not a means of treating it. Myself, I have never owned a thermometer as an adult. If I feel sick, I make chicken soup and go to bed. If I feel fine (even if I'm hot) I go about my life. That said, having some information about what your body is doing can be helpful. If nothing else, it can make you feel like you have some control/knowledge about what's going on.
