Question 1

I recently did a complete health check up and as per my blood report, all tests are within the normal range except for eosinophil count, which is 11.6. Please advise if this is normal or if it requires any further tests or medication? Thanks, Vidya.

Question 2

My blood report shows that I have eosinophilia, slightly higher than normal. I also have a cough (not dry), mainly in the morning and at night, especially in cold temperatures. What is the solution for this? Is it curable? Which doctor should I consult? Could there be any other underlying issue?

Question 3

Hi Doctor,
My name is Faizan, and I have been suffering from recurring boil skin infections for the past month. I recently got my blood tests done at Infedis Diagnostic Center, and the findings are:
WBC Count: 26,600 /cumm (high)
Hemoglobin: 14.1 gm/dl (normal)
Lymphocytes: 16 percent (low)
Eosinophils: 40 percent (high)
ESR: 18 mm/hour (high)
Urine Test: Normal, no sugar detected
Could you please guide me on what these results indicate and suggest the best type of doctor or specialist I should consult for proper treatment?
Thanks and Regards,
Faizan Shaikh

I have attached my brother blood test report. I noticed that his eosinophil count is slightly higher than normal. Could you please explain what this means, and whether he needs any treatment or precautions?

Mild eosinophilia can result from allergies, parasitic infections, or skin conditions. If asymptomatic, repeat test in 2 to 3 weeks. If recurrent cough, skin rashes, or stomach symptoms exist, consult a physician.
