Hi, my son is 3 years old and weighs 15 kg. He had no problems at birth. Last month, he was having wheezing sounds in his chest, and the doctor prescribed an inhaler for 14 days. Now he is fine. Today, his blood report shows mild eosinophilia with an absolute eosinophil count of 584, eosinophils 8 percent, monocytes 9 percent, lymphocytes 51 percent, absolute lymphocyte count 3723, platelets adequate, and the remaining values, including IgE, are normal. We stopped the inhaler today as per the doctors prescription. I want to know what mild eosinophilia means, what the treatment is, and whether we should stop or continue the medicine since he currently has no cough or cold?

Mild eosinophilia may reflect allergy or early asthma. Since symptoms resolved, no treatment is needed now. Monitor symptoms. Repeat blood count if wheezing returns.

Hi Sir, I want to know how long it takes for HIV antibodies to develop. I got tested 2 years ago, and the result was negative, but some doctors say it can take up to 10 years. I am experiencing symptoms like swollen lymph nodes, oral thrush, tiredness, kapha, and nail line changes. Based on my report, is it conclusive, or should I take a retest?

For the last 20 days I have been feeling dizziness. My eyes and ears are fine. But my blood report shows my eosinophils are slightly high at about 7. Can this be the reason for the dizziness? Will I always have eosinophilia? How can it be cured permanently? Am I at higher risk of eosinophilia in the future?
