Brief Answer: Oral cortiosteroids Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome to XXXXXXX Thanks for your query. Oral cortiosteroids like Prednisolone at a single daily dose of 30 to 60 mg will reduce eosinophil count. If not responding than chemotherapeutic agents may be given. Eosinophila may be caused by food allergies in some(ie egg, fish, nuts etc..). Such foods has to be avoided. You should learn to avoid food items which causes allergy for you. This is what is advised in many studies related to eosinophila and food allergy. All other food can be taken in your diet without any specific consideration to many particular food. Hope the answer helps you. Let me know if there is any clarification. regards.
