Today I went for a blood test for thyroid. When they pricked my needle, I saw watery blood on my hand. This happened for the first time. I am not on any blood thinner medicine. What could be the reason?

Watery blood could be due to hydration, vein fragility, or lab technique. Not a major concern if it happened once. No link with thyroid or medications unless recurring. Maintain good hydration before tests. If frequent, consider checking Platelet Count or CBC.

My son has been suffering from a fever for the past 2 months. We have consulted a doctor, but there has been no significant relief. For the past 6 to 7 days, he has also been experiencing constipation. His blood reports are mostly normal, his platelet count is 1,05,000, and haemoglobin is 13.5. The fever is not daily but typically appears between 12 to 3 PM. We have given him Meftagesic Plus, Calpol, and Ibugesic, but the fever keeps returning twice a week.

I have been experiencing extreme weakness and fatigue. This started after I had a cough and lung infection in January due to dust. The cough reduced within a week, and everything seemed normal. I have thyroid and take 25 mcg, and my thyroid levels were checked in March and were under good control. Since recovering from the cough, I have lost weight and continue to feel very weak. I was already underweight at 45 kg, and now I am 43 kg. My blood tests from March were normal.
