Hi,
you have eosinophilia. When absolute eosinophil count goes above 400. It is called eosinophilia. many causes are there and one of that is allergic reaction or asthma. here in your condition you ate dignosed case if asthma. So it is obvious that your eosinophil count will remains high. Till you have ni difficulties in breathing or dont have any other problem high eosinophil count is ok.no need to concerns for that only. If you ever have any other problems consult your doctor immediately and take treatment accordingly. .
