Normal Values of absolute eosinophil count is less than 350 cells per microliter (cells/mcL).
Increased eosinophil count may be due to many reasons like allergy,worm infestation etc.

It is important to take history of allergy.If it is due to allergy then anti-allergic medicines should be prescribed.

Deworming should be done if it is due to worms.

Proper treatment depend upon underlying cause.
