Hi, i have chronic atopic ezcema and my recent blood test taken a few months ago revealed an eosonophil count of 7200. How do I reduce this? At the moment I regularly suffer from itchy and runny/ watery eyes. I am not on any medication, except for use of elocon ointment mixed with vaseline, for my everyday rashes. Thanks, Atul
Hello ATL. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and I would like to make following suggestions to you:1. High eosinophil counts only suggest that you are having long-standing allergic disorder, atomic eczema or any other allergic disease. Unfortunately there is no specific treatment to reducing eosinophil counts.2. Personally I would suggest you allergy testing which will identify the substances you are allergic to and also measures to avoid them. Reduction of your exposure to allergy causing substances will reduce your eosinophil counts.3. High eosinophil counts also may be due to intestinal worm infestations. If you have any abdominal/digestive complaints, personally I would prescribe you a small course of antiparasitic Chat Doctor. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.
