I've noticed that my body temperature rises in the evening for an hour or so, then goes back to normal. It's not really a fever, just higher than it should be. I recently found out I have Microcytic anemia. Could there be a connection between the two? I could really use some guidance.

Elevated body temperature in the evening could be related to your Microcytic anemia. It is known that anemia can sometimes lead to a low-grade fever or increased body temperature. I recommend taking a fever reducer like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed to help with the elevated temperature. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's done over 4 blood tests, and each one shows her B12 level is really high. She's not really sick or anything, but lately she's been feeling dizzy, and I'm wondering if it could be related to her diet. Should we be worried about how high her B12 is?

It should not be a cause for worry if Vitamin B12 levels are high. Her dizziness may be related to BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). You should take her to an ENT specialist to get a confirmed diagnosis.

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?

Platelet count less than 1.5L is Thrombocytopenia,but transfusion is not necessary for 97K ,Consume Vitamin E rich food for improving platelets

My dad's been dealing with a high fever and chills since a couple of days ago. His platelet count has been fluctuating, it was 41k two days ago, then went up to 47k yesterday, but today it's lowered again to 45k. Tests for Dengue and Malaria came back negative, so I'm worried about what else could be causing this low platelet count. How long do you think it might take for his platelets to go back to normal?

That could be Viral Hemorrhagic fever,get him admitted in hospital,be under observation by a physician once his platelets get improved to 1L you are out of danger, follow your doctor advice.
