Hello ,
thank you for your question . If you were my patient i would suggest to undergo complete blood count , to check which fraction is increased . I am thinking of allergic reaction , due to the lack of other symptoms . If the blood test is suggestive of allergy , you could treat it with antiallergic syrop .Hope it will reliev your symptoms
Best regards
