Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. Noted your absolute eosinophil count is high. AEC high if greater than 600. If you have periodic mild dyspnea like symptoms' asthma ruled out by pulmonary function test. Here I also want to rule out allergic conditions can perform allergic test for it to detect causative allergen... Test your blood by peripheral smear examination for filariasis... Get your stool examination for round worm. As parasitic infection can lead high eosinophil. You can use fexophenedine plus montelukast for allergy.... If no cause found then it is pulmonary idiopathic eosinophilic..... Hope your concern solved.... Take care.... Chat Doctor.
