What causes an increase in the eosinophils count?
Patient: sir/madam,i am from hyderabad,andhra pradesh.  My mother is having a high count of eosinoplills and was administered various anti-biotics by different doctors.  She is also coughing a lot. Could this be related to any blood disorder or any infection related to lungs.  She went through all the tests and her chest x-ray is clear, but her CBP shows a high count of eosinophills. Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has eosinophilia.  There are many causes of eosinophilia. Asthma, allergy, hypersensitivity, parasitic infection etc are the common cause.  She should investigate for this.  Fund out the exact cause and take treatment accordingly.  Till that antihistaminics like chlorpheneremine malate and DEC can be used.  If needed steroid can be used as last resort. Thes all are prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
