Brief Answer:
Only abnormality is high eosinophil count.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Your all value are either normal or near normal and not significant clinically except your eosinophil count.

Your eosinophil count is significantly high.

It is due to your allergy.

You should go for allergy test. It will give you exact idea regarding substance against which you have allergy.

Avoid contact of that substance as far as possible.

Antihistamine drugs like cetrizine or chlorpheneremine malate (avil) are useful.

In severe cases steroids can be used.

Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about that.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
Welcome back.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Sorry for delayed reply due some busy schedule.

You are taking drug for high blood pressure. You should continue it according to advice. It has no relation with your allergy or eosinophil count.

Your swelling may be due to some odema. Take anti inflammatory drug and antihistamine drug. Mostly it will reduce. If it remains persistent then you need examination. Consult your treating doctor for that.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you very good health.
