I'm really worried because theres fluid build-up in one of my mom's lungs. We're headed to CMC Vellore and it's about a 2-hour 15-minute flight. She's been coughing and has some trouble breathing. Is it safe for her to fly right now, or should we consider another form of travel?

I've recently had a blood test, and it shows my eosinophil counts are higher than normal. I've also been having some breathing issues while I'm asleep, with a wheezing sound whenever I breathe in or out. Can you suggest what steps I should take next? Is there anything I can adjust in my diet to help bring my eosinophil counts back to normal levels?
It sounds like your high eosinophil count may be related to an allergic reaction or respiratory issue like asthma. I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly allergy testing. In the meantime, avoid allergens, and include anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3-rich fish, fruits, and vegetables in your diet.
