Hi,
Thanks for writing to hcm.
15.7% eosinophils (Eosinophilia) indicate allergic conditions and cough suggests eosinophilic bronchitis caused due to allergic or parasitic infections.
Kindly consult a physician regarding antiallergic medications like ;
Mast cell stablizers - sodium cromoglycate, montelukast
antihistamines- cetrizine
kindly get an x ray of the chest and ImmunoglobulinG levels checked for further treatment.
If there is parasitic infection, the parasite causing the disease has to be treated.
Regards
Dr.Riyanka
