Brief Answer:
Normal report

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Sorry for delay in reply, as I was busy in my other professional occupations.

Thanks for reverting back with report. It is a normal report.
Only two slight concerns are noted.
One is high eosinophil count, that can be due allergy or parasites. You may drink cleaner water and take single dose of Tab Albendazole 400 mg.

Second concern is low vitamin D level. For this you will need to take two measures. Expose your skin to some direct sunlight everyday and take vitamin D supplement. Calcium is normal, so you donot need calcium alongwith it. Vitamin D supplement could be calcirol granules XXXXXXX or Drise 60k capsule. Can take one XXXXXXX of it once a week for one month, then one XXXXXXX every 2 weeks for next 2 months. Recheck the value in 3-4 months. If needed the dose maybe continued for few more months. This vitamin can accumulate in body, so watch out for it toxic effects like muscle spasm, constipation, etc.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
