Question 1

Doctor, I have been suffering from fever and cold for the last 20 days. In my blood test report, eosinophils are increased at 12 percent and hemoglobin is 9 percent. I am an 18 year old girl. Please help me.

Question 2

I recently took a blood test package on my own, and I found that one of the test results was not normal. The EOSINOPHILS ABSOLUTE COUNT is 0.84, and the EOSINOPHILS percentage is 10.8. Could you please advise on the significance of these results and their possible impact?

Question 3

I am a 29 year old male suffering from allergic rhinitis and asthma. Around three months ago, I developed severe breathlessness and underwent a chest X ray, blood test, and PFT test. The chest X ray was normal. My FEV1/FVC ratio was 81 percent, and my FEV1 was 71 percent. My blood report was also normal except for an elevated eosinophil count of 440. For the past 2.5 months, I have been using Seroflo 250/25 (4 puffs daily) and Rhine M nasal spray regularly. While I am no longer experiencing severe breathlessness, I still have some breathing discomfort, especially when lifting weights as low as 10 kg or when climbing stairs quickly. I would like to know whether I need a stronger medication or if there is an alternative treatment that might be more effective.

I recently did a complete health check up and as per my blood report, all tests are within the normal range except for eosinophil count, which is 11.6. Please advise if this is normal or if it requires any further tests or medication? Thanks, Vidya.

Mild eosinophilia may be due to allergies, worms, or eczema. If asymptomatic, no treatment is needed. Deworming may be tried.
