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.

Hello Doctor, I have been suffering from food allergies for the last 2 to 3 years. According to my blood report, I am allergic to foods like lemon, orange, lady finger, eggs, clove, yeast, and paper dust. Because of these allergies, I experience skin itching on different parts of my body at any time. I have consulted many doctors, but the itching returns once the medication is finished. Please guide me on the treatment, diet, or medicines I should take and which specialist I should consult. Thank you. I am eagerly waiting for your valuable advice.
