Wait, let me check..

Hi

I have a few lines of conversation here....

Patient: I have a bad throat pain and fever, Doctor.

Doctor: How many days have you been ill?

Patient: Since last night.

Doctor: (Please) Wait, let me check.

after checking......

Doctor: Yes, the fever is 101; open your mouth and say Aaahh..

I'd like to know if the underlined sentence is OK.. is the word "check" used appropriately or should I use something else?

Please help

Thank you
