What Causes Eosinophil Count To Be High?
Hi,
Age : 35
Weight: 65
My eosinophils count was 28 and I was advised hetrazan 100 (3times a day for 3 weeks).
Post this my eosinophils count was around 23. All other components of the CBC are normal. I have no cough or any other symptoms of illness.
My GP says there is nothing to worry about, but I've heard that a high eosinophil count could lead to organ (heart/lung and other) damage.
Should I be worried?
