An eosinophil count of 18.9 is higher than normal and usually suggests an allergy, parasitic infection, or sometimes a chronic condition. It is not necessarily alarming, especially if you are otherwise feeling well. Your doctor may investigate the underlying cause and guide you accordingly.

I was tested positive for Covid 19 on 17 April and now I am recovering from Covid. I am facing some problems related to post Covid recovery such as mild pain in chest, high pulse rate, irritation and itching in eyes, too much sleep, too much hunger, tiredness and weakness. As per my attached test report I have higher level of LDH, SGOT, eosinophils and low platelet count. What does this mean?
