Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

You should go for testing of blood. This can be tested in any of the advanced laboratories available near to your house.

There are two tests that can differentiate the condition. One is blood eosinophilia and other is the fungal hypha antigen testing present in the blood.

If this two tests are detected in blood and in the respiratory system. Than you are infected with the mold.

Mold mostly come into system by the inhalation of the fungal hyphae.

Once inhaled it causes allergic reaction in the body. This is responsible for the reaction in the body.

To keep the antigen away from the body is most important thing. This is the final cure for the disease.

If you are severely affectedbthan you can take the fluconazole tablet and prednisolone low dose tablet under your doctors guidance.

Engineering and construction can remove the mold from the house so if you can do that, all your infection will remain away from you for life time.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
