Question: Hello.My eisonophilia count was 10 percent initially when I checked last month.After that doctor asked me to take Banocide forte 100 mg ,zentel 400mg,and cetrizine.After 1 week count was 10 percent.But just after 15 days of starting the medicine eisonophil count is 13 percent now.I am worried about as I need to bring it down in next 3 weeks due to a job requirement.The job requires my eisonophil count to be normal for being medically cleared.Please advice..My peripheral smear report shows no presence of parasite in blood..
Brief Answer:
Hello dear. You require a short course of steroids.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern. You have been adequately treated for parasitic infestation. There can be various causes for eosinophilia and the commoner ones are allergic and idiopathic.
You require a short course of steroids like prednisolone or dexamethasone for normalizing your eosinophil counts. You can repeat the counts after a period of 1 week.
But you have to take this medication in the supervision of a physician only.
thanks and regards
