thse are allergies and you need to treat on allergy guidelines as your history suggests the superadded infection i allergy causes increased TLC THE ANTIBIOTIC GIVEN WILL WORK TO DECREASE tlc and the other medicines will clear allergy and breathing you cn consult allergeologist to work on allergy guidelines to treat and prevent further recurences
The raised TLC count is suggestive of infection which may be contributing to the bronchospasm and cough,use of monteleukast may help control the allergic rhinitis and sneezing.Nebulisation and azithromycin are good drugs which will help treat the cough.You need to increase the water/fluid intake of the elder one,regular urine tests will help rule out any UTI.
TLC is a marker which indicate your white blood cell count. If any infection occurs in your body then these white blood cell (WBC) fight with the cause(bacteria, virus etc) so their level rises. It actually protects you. So its rise indicates that you have some short of infection in your body. So the doctor gave you the antibiotic (AZITHRAL) which will kill those bacteria. Dont worry it will come back to normal when the infection will be subsided.
It can also be due to parasitic infections. Avoid dust in bedrooms.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
