Varghese Innesent. Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,Your history and symptoms are suggestive of allergy to dust mite. As you have undergone absolute eosinophil count (AEC), which is also evident of some allergic reactions in the body.These dust can stimulate the mast cells to release mediators like histamine which is producing all these symptoms.I would suggest you to undergo skin prick test to identify the proper dust causing all these symptoms. This will help to avoid the allergen otherwise you can go for immunotherapy.You can go for sub lingual immunotherapy (SLIT) or subcutaneous immunotherapy. For the present symptoms you can take Tab Montek LC, once daily in night for atleast 15 days.Thank you.
