I recently received my blood test results, and I noticed that my eosinophil count is 8, whereas the normal reference range is 0 to 6. What could be the reason?

Mild eosinophilia (value 8) can be due to allergy, parasitic infections, or skin/autoimmune conditions. If you are asymptomatic, monitor. If symptoms present, consult doctor.

My report shows lymphopenia. What does it mean? It is also mentioning mild anisocytosis with microcytic hypochromic cells.

I was diagnosed with CML (chronic phase) in February and started Veenat 400 from March 6th, with my WBC counts remaining stable at around 5000 and my 6 month BCR ABL result being 0.953 percent. However, since July, I have been experiencing persistent mouth sores that have not improved with different remedies. My question is, what is the best way to manage this? Should I stop Veenat for a week and restart, switch to a second-generation drug, or temporarily move to a second generation drug and later return to the first generation one? My main concern is whether taking a break from Veenat will negatively affect my long term treatment goals and the possibility of achieving deep molecular remission at one year.
