View allI'm a bit concerned about my wife's recent blood test results. Her eosinophil count is 16% and her ESR level is 29. She had a herpes infection two months ago and a food infection about a month before the test. She also took a muscle relaxant nine hours before her fasting blood test. Do these results indicate anything serious? Should we consider getting another blood test after some time?
The elevated eosinophils count and ESR level could be due to the recent infections your wife had. It is known that infections, including herpes and food infections, can cause an increase in eosinophils and ESR levels. Additionally, the muscle relaxant taken before the fasting blood test may have also influenced the results. It is advisable to wait for some time and then repeat the blood test to see if the eosinophils count and ESR level have returned to normal levels. If there are no other concerning symptoms, it is likely that the values will normalize once the infections have resolved and the effects of the muscle relaxant have worn off.

I've been dealing with typhoid for the past couple of days, and I used to take Tarivid 200 mg tablets for it. Now I can't find them anywhere in the market. What should I do? Are there any alternatives you would recommend? Do I need a prescription for them? Any advice would be really appreciated.
