Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (pulmonary function test).
You are having high eosinophil count. So possibility of allergic disease like asthma or eosinophilic pneumonia is more.
Chest x ray is needed to rule out pneumonia.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of asthma is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) because inhaled treatment is best for asthma.
Your daughter should also be checked for asthma.
Don't worry, with appropriate treatment, you both will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to both of you. Thanks.
