I'm a bit worried because my platelet count came back at 97,000. Is that considered low? Should I be concerned about it, and do you think it's necessary to have my platelets checked again?

Question

I've recently had a blood test, and I'm a bit worried because my ESR is pretty high at 56mm, and my MCH and MCHC levels are low. What could this mean? Should I be concerned about anything in particular? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give me.

Question

I'm curious about what the normal body temperature is. I've been feeling okay, but sometimes my body temp goes slightly above 37C. I've taken the RT-PCR test twice and they both came back negative. My D-dimer and CRP levels were also normal. I also took a dengue test which was negative, but my platelet count was low at 117,000. Could this low platelet count be causing a fever?

Question

I recently had a blood test and they poked me with a needle, but the doctor couldn't find the vein right away and kind of moved it around under my skin. That was a few days ago, and now there's this light green patch where they poked me. I'm a bit worried because I thought bruises were usually blue or black. Is this light green color something I should be concerned about?
