I have a blood test booked for 3 days time but I have a cold virus, this is my second day with symptoms, sore throat plegmy cough . Will this affect the TSH level? Would you recommend I cancel and re-schedule?

Firinne,
Infection or serious illness can raise TSH but it is unlikely having a cold will make much difference.
When I get the sniffles with sore throat I suggest hot lemonade,crushed paracetamol and a squirt of honey and fresh lemon juice,take at night will feel a lot better...at least I do..
Thanks, Dovey - paracetamol is helping with the throat and honey and lemon juice sounds lovely, I will make that my nightcap tonight.
