I had infected cuticle and abscess. antibiotics fixed that. last 2 days have had chills and low grade fever. related to infection or more likely vira?

Infection: Although it appears hat the abscess is gone it sounds like you have systemic infection with a significant bacteremia. It is possible that the bacteria is resistant or that the antibacterial dose is insufficient to treat the infection and warrants immediate visit to the doctor.
