Suggest Treatment For Breathing Problem Due To Eosinophilia

Myself Ashish Tiwari height 178 cm, weight 62.I am suffering from breathing problem from last few years, now got to know that this is because of eosinophilia. Whenever eosinophilia is less in my body I do not face any problem. I got my blood test and eosinophilia was 15%. How can stop making of eosinophilia in my body? And how it can be reduced to normal level.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Eosinophils are one type of white blood cell (WBC) which denotes allergy.
So high eosinophil count is almost always due to underlying allergy.
So possibility of allergy related eosinophilia and breathlessness (asthma like) are high in your case.
Best treatment for allergy is identification of allergen and if possible complete avoidance of it.
So better to consult allergist and get done allergy testing to identify the allergen.
Once you avoid it, your eosinophil count will not raise.
Oral treatment with combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) is also helpful in reducing eosinophil count.
Don't worry, consult allergist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
