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?

Will using Duonase nasal spray for 5 months, with a dosage of 2 sprays in each nostril twice a day, suppress my immune system and stop my body from producing specific HIV antibodies? I'm a bit worried and would love your insight on this.

Considering your prolonged cough and negative sputumCBNAAT results, it's essential to re-evaluate your condition. Consult a pulmonologist or a chest specialist for further assessment.

Ive been getting the flu shot from the same brand, Flu Quadri, every year without issues, but last year was different. After the shot, I felt my chest tighten up, had trouble breathing, and then woke up the next day with severe muscle pain all over. These symptoms quickly disappeared, but Im wondering if its safe to get the flu shot again this year. Should I only get it when Im feeling my best, or is it better to skip it altogether after what happened last time?

I'm really struggling with this persistent urticaria issue I've had for a few years. I'm allergic to foods like spices, brinjal, Rajma, Urad dal, guava, oats, curd, namkeen, and too much sugar or jaggery. I've seen all the local doctors, but the problem comes back once I stop their treatments. My AEC test showed a count of 1000 when it should be under 250. I've taken a lot of antihistamines, but they mess up my digestion. Within minutes, I get weird patterns on my skin that vanish after 15-20 minutes. Can you please help me understand what's happening or suggest what I should do next?

Considering your persistent urticaria, multiple food allergies, and elevated Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) of 1000, consult an allergist or immunologist for comprehensive guidance; they may recommend immunotherapy, mast cell stabilizers, or biologics like omalizumab, in addition to strict avoidance of trigger foods and implementation of a low-histamine diet; also, consider gut-friendly antihistamines like levocetirizine or fexofenadine to minimize digestive side effects.
