Sir, I have been struggling with cold allergy for months. If I miss my medication even for a day, I experience severe cold symptoms the next day, including sneezing about 14 to 20 times every 10 seconds. I have consulted multiple doctors but have not found a cure yet. My blood report shows an eosinophil count of 704 (normal range 40 to 440). Please suggest a better treatment option.

A high eosinophil count suggests allergic rhinitis. Long term antihistamines or leukotriene inhibitors may help. Allergen testing can guide treatment.

Take a AEC Test (Absolute Eosinophil Count) Test or Take a IgE Test Test

The latest blood report is attached. He has been taking Zondis for more than 2 months with no relief. What should I do? Which specialist should I see? He is also feeling itching whenever he eats.

As per my report, IgE antibody is high. This problem has been there for many years. I have itching in the body which stops after taking Cetirizine and some dark patches in the pelvic area. Please explain in detail?

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?
