Hello, Welcome to HCM, Hello, Welcome to HCM, As you are having allergic reactions which is evident by your absolute eosinophill count (AEC), this is one of the important indicator of presence of allergic reactions in the body.
For the present symptoms I would advise to take tab levocast, meanwhile consult your doctor to get information regarding skin prick test.
I would suggest you to undergo skin prick test for most prevalent allergens in your surroundings like dust, pollen, mite, food and chemicals. This test help us to identify the allergen causing all these symptoms and you can avoid those allergens, if it not possible to avoid the allergens you can go for immunotherapy.
You can apt sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) or subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) depending upon your compliance. Thank you.
