I'm a bit worried because my recent blood test showed eosinophils at 13.7, which I understand is referred to as eosinophilia. Is this something serious? What steps should I take, and are there any particular precautions I should be aware of?

I'm a bit worried because my platelet count has dropped to 110,000, but I don't have any signs of dengue. I've heard that goat milk might help increase platelet levels. Is that true? What can I do to naturally boost my platelet count?

While goat milk is a good source of protein and calcium, there is no scientific evidence to support its role in increasing platelet count. To increase platelet count, you can consider taking medications like "Eltrombopag" at a dosage prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, consuming foods rich in vitamin K like spinach, kale, and broccoli can also help boost platelet production. Remember to follow your doctor's advice for the best treatment plan.

I'm really concerned about my dad's health. He's been having an unusually high WBC count, but he doesn't show any symptoms of leukocytosis. The blood smear and spleen tests all came back normal. He's stable, with no fever or inflammation, but his WBC count keeps fluctuating between 52000 and 28000. What could be causing this variation in his WBC count when everything else seems fine?

it's normal
