View allI just got my blood test results and saw that my absolute eosinophil count is 700 cumm. Do you think this means I have an allergy? Could you let me know what I should do about it?
An absolute eosinophil count of 700 cumm may indicate an allergic reaction or an infection. To help reduce your symptoms, you can take Tablet Loratadine 10mg once daily for allergy relief. Additionally, you can use an over-the-counter nasal spray like Fluticasone propionate 50mcgspray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily for nasal congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been using morrf5 for about five months now. It was working well and really helped with my hair fall, but over the last couple of weeks, I'm noticing that the density on my left temple is decreasing, and my scalp is becoming more visible, even though I'm still using minoxidil. Could this be just a shedding phase, or is there something else going on?
Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm wondering if it's safe to use Kz soap on my hair for dandruff. I know it has ketoconazole, so I'm curious if it's effective and okay to use for that purpose. What do you think?
