I've just got my health check-up done, and while most things are in the normal range, my eosinophils count is a bit high at 11.6. I've started taking banocide tablets for the past couple of days. Lately, I've begun feeling a little uneasy when I breathe. I did an ECG and chest X-ray, and those came back normal. Do you think the banocide will help with the breathing issue, or should I be looking into other medication?

I'm a bit worried after getting a chest X-ray done yesterday. I've attached the film above. Could you help me understand if it shows any signs of TB or another infection? The doctor seemed unsure but has already suggested starting anti-TB meds for 15 days. Is it really okay to start that treatment at my age?
