Hi Ravi,
Thanks for asking.
Looking at the values, My comments are as follows:
1. ESR is raised. It is 45 indicating mild inflammation, maybe fever or recent injury.
2. Absolute eosinophil count is a normal. Normal values are 40-440. Different laboratory have different values. You need not worry about eosinophils
3. S. Na level is a bit raised. normal values are 135-145 meq/L. Ask her to take more fluid or water. It will come back to normal.

Except ESR, none of the values are significant.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
