Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Doctor My 3.5 year old daughter is not well from last 10 days and developed cough and little wheezing. her doctor advised for blood test which showed eosinophilis count of 85 and erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 45. what does this mean and what is the risk? she has a history of infantile eczima since 6months of age. i am away from family and worried a lot
Any fever is there? Given the back ground of eczema and eosinophilia, this might suggest an allergic cause (like asthma). As ESR is bit high, we need to consider respiratory infections as a triggering event and treat with appropriate antibiotics along with broncho-dilators. Kindly discuss with your pediatrician.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
