Brief Answer:
Not to worry
Detailed Answer:
Good day.
Noted your concern.
Your thyroid functions are grossly normal. Please don't worry about that T3 value. When you are unwell, thyroid blood test values tend to be abnormal like this.In your case the T4 and TSH are normal. Not to worry. No need of any medicine now. I would advice you to recheck the thyroid function test after complete recovery from your fever.
Wish you speedy recovery
