Hi dear,

A low eosinophil count has no significance unless he is having fever or other symptoms like fever or overweight(it can happen in conditions like typhoid fever or cushing syndrome). It is the high eosinophil count that is of more concern

So, if he is otherwise fine, just leave it. Nothing to worry

Let me know if I can assist you further
