I gave a blood sample for my thyroid yesterday, and now the spot on my arm has turned black and green and there's some swelling. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?

1. Taking Dolo 650 (paracetamol) before or after COVID-19 vaccination is generally safe to alleviate fever and body ache. However, consult your doctor or vaccination provider for personalized advice. 2. COVID-19 vaccination is generally safe for depression patients aged 64 and above. However, inform your vaccination provider about your depression and any medications you're taking to ensure necessary precautions.

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?
