Question

I'm dealing with a pretty bad flu and a serious cough. I'm already taking a syrup and an antibiotic like amoxiline 1g. So, if a doctor suggests paracetamol, is it just for pain relief or does it help fight the virus too? And what if I can manage the pain, do I really need to take the paracetamol?
