Can you have a blood test for hypothyroidism if you have a cold?

Patient's question:

Not feeling well, runny nose, cough, hiccups, body aches and weakness, no appetite for food, weight loss. Family members want to take me to the hospital for a thorough examination. I'm told that a thorough examination requires blood tests, but how can I have blood drawn now that I have a cold. Can I have a blood test for hypothyroidism while I have a cold?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation described, it is more likely to consider the possibility of bronchial asthma. This is mainly due to the stimulating smell caused by the issue of missing the flight, resulting in obvious cough symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended to actively use medication for treatment and avoid contact with smoke as much as possible to prevent asthma from recurring. This situation has nothing to do with "smoke disease."
