Question 1

I'm looking for some advice because my eosinophils are still high; the latest blood test showed 925. I finished my TB treatment back in July 2021. My cholesterol is under control since I had extra pulmonary TB in the heart area. I just need to know what could be causing thisis it some kind of reaction or allergy? I have a lingering slight cough, but it's not really bothering me. All my other tests for lungs, kidneys, etc., are normal. What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

it might be due to some infection, allergy, if you have all other functions normal then don't worry

Question 2

I've been dealing with a constant cough for the past five months, and a specialist I saw said it's due to allergies. He gave me some medicine and told me it would go away eventually, but it hasn't seemed to improve. What could be going on? Is there something else I should be considering or asking about?

Accepted Answer

take a course of antibiotics

Question 3

I'm experiencing this unusual burning sensation all over my body, but there's no fever. My torso feels dry and a bit allergic, though it's not really itchy. Oddly enough, gently rubbing my torso seems to help. Along with this, my nose has been drippy, and my stomach bloated after eating rice and egg with some red chili flakes for breakfast. This all began yesterday morning. I woke up with my face feeling hot, and then it spread to my hands and feet. It's been like this since then. I'm 47 years old and can't figure out what kicked off these symptoms. The night before it all started, I had two shots of rum and prawns for dinner, which is unusual for me because I don't drink often and rarely eat seafood, particularly prawnsthe last time was like a year or two ago. What's going on with my body?

Accepted Answer

That could be allergic reaction due to Prawns,stay hydrated and visit physician for appropriate management.

I'm dealing with a heavy cough and my doctor recommended I get an IgE test. My results showed an IgE level over 3000, but my doctor is on leave until next week. I'm really curious and a bit worriedwhat does an IgE level this high actually mean? Can someone help explain this to me?

Increased Ige levels are seen in allergic asthma,allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis,infection,TB,Cystic fibrosis etc.Normal levels in adults is 0-75KUL.
