View allI'm worried about these blood clots in both my arms after the doctor had to prick them for a blood test. It's been pretty tough to find a vein, and now the arm that got pricked several times is bruised, tender, and moving it is painful. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything I should do to help it heal or ease the pain?
To help with the blood clot and bruising, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the bruised area can help with swelling. To promote healing and reduce tenderness, you can also apply a warm compress to the area. If the pain and bruising persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your doctor.

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?
you take kiwi fruits and papaya.

What are the 3 stages of iron deficiency?
The first stage is "iron depletion" where iron stores are used up to correct the deficiency. The second stage is "reduced red blood cell formation" where iron supply is not enough to support RBC formation. The third and final stage is "iron deficiency anemia" where hemoglobin concentration is affected and drops below the normal range.
