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.

My nephew has skin allergies, and I have attached a test report from a year ago. Recently, he has been experiencing rapid weight gain, about 4 kg in the last 1.5 months. Could this be related to his allergies or something else?
