My blood report shows a high eosinophil count of 18.9 percent. What does this indicate, and should I be concerned? Is it something serious or alarming?

An eosinophil count of 18.9 is higher than normal and usually suggests an allergy, parasitic infection, or sometimes a chronic condition. It is not necessarily alarming, especially if you are otherwise feeling well. Your doctor may investigate the underlying cause and guide you accordingly.

I have been diagnosed with a low fever, less than 99.6, for the past two months. After blood tests, results indicated low hemoglobin, low MCV, MCH, and MCHC, and high RDW. I have attached liver profile test, urine analysis, thyroid, and CBC reports. I was prescribed Livogen, calcium, and magnesium tablets. After three days of taking these tablets, my fever spiked to 100. I am eating better and feel better overall, except for the fever. I do not have fatigue.
