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.

I'm really worried about my 67-year-old mom. She had covid pneumonia and developed post-covid lung fibrosis. The doctors assured us there was no need for concern since she only had a dry cough and no symptoms. A year down the line, we did a routine CT scan and now there's a 3 cm lung mass and multiple nodules up to 9mm in her right lung. Could this be due to the fibrosis she had after covid? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what to do next.

I'm worried about my loved one who has Parkinson's and can't move. We suspect TB, but they're unable to cough up sputum, and they're also not fit for bronchoscopy or FNAC of the chest. Are there any blood tests or other options to detect TB in this situation? Any advice would be helpful.
