I've been dealing with a viral fever and a cold since last night, and I'm not sure what medicine would be best to take. I did have some paracetamol yesterday, but I'm wondering if there's anything else you could recommend?

Question

I'm feeling really confused and worried right now. I had a fever and took a paracetamol tablet at night, then ended up sweating a lot. I thought it might be some reaction to the tablet, but the next morning I woke up feeling really cold. I decided to go to the hospital, and the consultant told me its because of viral fever. Ive always thought that the main symptom of a viral infection would be a runny nose. Am I wrong about that? I got a blood test done, and the results were all normal, but the doctor still wants me to come back in two days to check my platelets. What do you think is going on?

Question

I'm a little worried about cellulitis treatment. My partner has been on Augmentin 625 twice a day and Chymoral forte three times a day for the past three days. Should we be seeing a specific kind of doctor for this, or is a general practitioner okay? Also, do you think this medication regimen sounds right, or should we be doing something differently? Any advice would be super helpful.
