Dear doctor, my father is 51 years old. His recent CBC blood report shows a high eosinophil count. He also experiences itching on some days. The report is attached. Is this normal, and has the eosinophil count returned to normal? Kindly provide your valuable suggestion.

High eosinophils and itching may suggest allergies or parasitic infection. If symptoms persist or eosinophils remain elevated, consult a physician for stool test or allergy profile.

I took a Mankind abortion pill on April 2 and successfully terminated the pregnancy. However, since then, I have been experiencing heavy bleeding that has not stopped. My ultrasound, thyroid, and blood test reports are all normal, but the bleeding continues. I am very concerned about my health, especially because I want to have a baby in the future.

My son had a severe allergic reaction due to a medicine he took for sudden pain in his leg joints. The reaction appears as red dots all over his legs, which are also painful at times. It looks similar to severe mosquito bites, and there are no purple dots. The doctor indicated a possibility of vasculitis, but the blood report stated otherwise. His rheumatoid factor is 8.5.
