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 experience evening shivering, fever, headache, and body pain. My blood report taken on Friday was normal, with no positive results for malaria or typhoid. Still, the fever returns daily in the evening with shivering, and after taking Dolo 650, it calms down for 3 to 4 hours. I started Lumerex 80 mg yesterday. Please advise if hospital admission is required?

My 27 year old daughter had viral fever on Monday. After three days, the fever went away, but she is still suffering from a persistent cough. Her blood report and chest X ray are normal. She has taken many medicines and syrups, but the cough has not improved. The doctor said there is an infection in her throat. Please suggest what we should do next.

I have swollen lymph nodes under my arm for the last 6 months. They appear some days and disappear on other days. They are painful. Doctors gave me some pills, but there was no response. I took a blood report, but everything is normal. The lymph nodes can be felt but not seen.
