Question

I've been having some issues with high eosinophil levels - they were over 10 last week, and two months ago they were at 21. After taking a 10-day course of hetrazan, my weakness has gotten a bit better, but now I'm dealing with some diarrhea symptoms and still feel a bit weak. The eosinophil levels did drop to 5 in the last three days. Do you think I'll start feeling more refreshed after finishing the hetrazan treatment, and does this mean I'm recovering from a possible parasite infection since the eosinophil count has gone down?

With a significant reduction in eosinophils from 21% to 5% after the Hetrazan course, it's likely that the treatment was effective in addressing the underlying parasitic infection; as your body recovers, you may start feeling fresher and more energetic, but it's essential to monitor your symptoms, including diarrhea, and follow up with your healthcare provider to ensure complete recovery and to rule out any other underlying conditions

I've had a low-grade fever for the past two months, and my doctor recommended some blood tests. The results showed that I have typhoid, my WBC is elevated to 16,000, and my ESR is at 70. I'm really worried about what this could mean and what steps I should take next. Could you please help me understand this better and advise me on what actions are necessary?
