A few months ago I was facing difficulty while breathing. After doing some tests, it was found that my eosinophils count was higher due to food allergies (potato, tomato). I took some medicine and stopped eating the foods causing problems as per the report. After some time, everything was fine and I started eating these food items again without problems. But for the last 2 to 3 days, I am again having difficulties in breathing. My blood test report shows eosinophils are normal, but there is a slight mild increase in lymphocyte count. What should I do now?

Recurrence may indicate allergy or mild viral infection. Even with normal eosinophils, food triggers can still cause symptoms. Avoid known allergens. Consider antihistamines and consult an allergist or pulmonologist.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a IgE Test Test

View allI am a college student and commonly sneeze 3 to 4 times every morning. About 9 months ago, I developed a facial skin problem that became red, swollen, and sometimes oozed yellow fluid. A doctor diagnosed me with eczema and prescribed medicines, which initially helped. However, when the medicines were changed, the problem worsened and spread to other parts of my body. I could not use the medicines for long because they were steroids. This went on for about 7 months. Later, my doctor suggested comprehensive allergy testing and advised stopping all medicines. After stopping, the allergy gradually reduced. The allergy test indicated sensitivity to house dust and cotton dust. Currently, my facial eczema is under control, but my eyes have become red. A doctor suggested it might be conjunctivitis, but they are unsure if it is allergy related. I have had allergic problems since childhood, but they have worsened over the past 9 months. Could you please explain what might be happening and how I can manage these recurring allergies and eye symptoms?

My nephew has been developing sudden redness and water filled blisters on his legs and hands, which resolve on their own within a few days. His blood reports appear normal, and we have consulted multiple dermatologists, but none have been able to identify the root cause of these recurring blisters. I have attached images for reference. Could you please review them and share any insights or suggestions you may have? Thank you in advance.

Sir, I have been struggling with cold allergy for months. If I miss my medication even for a day, I experience severe cold symptoms the next day, including sneezing about 14 to 20 times every 10 seconds. I have consulted multiple doctors but have not found a cure yet. My blood report shows an eosinophil count of 704 (normal range 40 to 440). Please suggest a better treatment option.
