Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Mild increase in ESR suggesting imld inflammation
2. Increased eosinophil levels, suggest allergic reaction, which can explain the ESR level.
3. ESR is not at all a problem. C-reactive protein levels, indicate more active inflammation. You can get these tested.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
