I've recently gotten a blood test because I've been dealing with a cough, and my results have me a bit concerned. My AEC level is 490 cellscumm, WBC count is at 8000 cellscumm, and my ESR is 40 mmhr. I'm really eager to know how I can reduce my AEC level. Are there specific foods or lifestyle changes you would suggest to help with this?

I've been dealing with a dust allergy and was advised to use Metaspray. I didn't get a refill for about four days after my last one ran out, and during that gap, I didn't take any other meds. Then, I caught a cold and fever, but that's starting to calm down now. I'm back on my Metaspray, but I'm really struggling with a dry cough and severe throat pain from all the coughing. What should I do?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
