Your doctor has prescribed banocide considering it as parasitic infestation.
Banocide contains the active ingredient Diethylcarbamazine.
In children,parasite infestation is the most common cause of increased eosinophil
count.
Your doctor has rightly prescribed banocide and it is prescribed for eosinophilia due to worms.
However,other causes of increased eosinophil like allergy should also be excluded.
