What Causes Absence Of Monocytes In Blood With Sore Throat?

Medications That I'm taking are listed below.
1. Albendazole 400mg ( 3 tabs given - 2 Taken)
2. Diethylcabamazine citrate 100mg (30 tabs for 15 days) ( 4 tabs taken)
3. Cefpodoxime Proxetil with Potassium Clavulanate 325 ( 12 tabs for 6 days)(4 taken)
4. Pan-D (for Acid reflux) (2 taken)
5. I'm just using some Nasal Drop for relief during sleep. (once a day before sleeping)
My Questions are:
1. Why is my Monocyte Count in blood 0%. I have not taken yogurt or milk from past 10 days due to sore throat. (which was part of my diet before.) So is that because of that. My monocyte was 8%, 1 year ago.
2. Eosinophils count is 312 / Cumm and Eosinophils are 4 % of TLC. Is that because of parasite or allergic reactions. How this can be reduced if its allergic. I'm really concerned about that because i'm having chronic sore throat from past 2 months. and my profession is teaching.
3. What medications do you think I should take. What should I stop taking. I have 2 months to rest. I just want to back on track as soon as possible. My classes will start in September.
Your illness is because of allergy .
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for the query.
I have seen your blood report & throat picture.
Monocyte count is due to phagocytes out of circulation protect against infection. Increase in malaria , kala azar ,infectious mononucleosis , protozoal infections , collagen disease & other infections. In your case it is low due to lack of above infection or artifact or yogurt .
Eosinophils & ESR are slight raised due to allergy & longer illness respectively .
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you plenty of fluids , Steam Inhalation , Antiseptic Mouth Wash , Saline nasal spray thrice daily , combination of Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Montelukast , paracetamol & Macrolide Antibiotic azithromycin .
Other you can stop , discuss with your treating doctor. You will get relief .
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.


Even you forgot to write the dosage of the medications that you prescribed.
1. Levocetirizine + Montelukast
2. Paracetamol (Is it combined with 3rd one or its alone )
3. Marcolides Antibiotics Azithromycin
But as you know I have started the previous course of antibiotics, Cefpodoxime Proxetil. I think I will finish that. Except that should I start your first 2 medications.
and One more thing. I was having constant fever 100 Deg C from last night. Is this due to infection.
In my opinion there is no Parasitic Infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for follow up query.
In my opinion there is no Parasitic Infection & you can stop those drugs.
You can continue Cefpodoxime Proxetil along with pan D.
1. Combination of Levocetirizine 5mg + Montelukast 10mg (Like Romilast L10) once daily for 7 days at night.
2. Paracetamol 650 mg (Like Dolo 650mg ) twice daily for 5 days . It is alone .
Steam Inhalation , Antiseptic Mouth Wash (Chlorhexidine like Triguard mouth wash ) & Saline nasal spray thrice daily respectively also important.
Fever is due to chronic infection .
Discuss this with your treating doctor.
Hope this information helpful to you, take care and have a nice day.
Regards.
