HiXXXXX
Welcome to health care magic.
I think your symptoms are due to some infection present in your body. You are probably developing a serious condition called multiorgan dysfunction syndrome because your poor immunity due to recent cellulitis and poor health. The deranged urea and creatinine levels, raised Leucocyte counts, respiratory problem, UTI and a tired state all indicate to this possibility. Delaying in intervention may increase the chances of complications. You should go to ER as soon as possible and get yourself evaluated and investigated. You will probably need an inpatient treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics and supportive care in a monitored environment. I hope my advice will be helpful in informative for you.

Brief Answer:
Early evaluation and treatment advisable
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX
Welcome back.
the cellulitis has shown a good healing.
The current health problem is not localised like this and it is affecting many body systems, it may be due to infection somewhere else in the body like respiratory system or genito-urinary tract etc.
It needs investigations after evaluation by a XXXXXXX local physician.
Most likely you will need admission to hospital and broad spectrum antibiotics.
I hope my advice will guide you well.
