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?

Is there cause for concern with levels this low?

I'm really concerned about my lymphocytes. They've jumped from 14 to 44 in just a month. I don't have any lumps or red patches, but I'm getting infections and bleeding easily. My vitamin D is super low too, just at 5. Should I be worried about these increasing lymphocyte levels? What's causing it?
