Does Alcohol Consumption Cause High Eosinophil Count?
I am a chronic relapsing alcoholic with closer and closer relapses over the last few years. Allergist looked at eosinophil counts over last 12 years and they ve always been elevated slightly , some years higher and lower. I have been having more and more allergic reactions to medications Are alcoholism and eosinophil count related
Alcoholism is not related to increased eosinophil count. Eosinophil counts are increased in conditions such as allergy, worm infestations, autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, atopic conditions such as bronchial asthma, and eczema. Alcohol intake does not increase eosinophil count. Do you have any symptom?? Advice 1. Never take any drug for which you are allergic 2. Diethylcarbamazine citrate 50 mg (tablet Banocide 50 mg) every 8 hours for 7 days 3. Levocetirizine 5 mg daily per oral for 7 days 4. Dexamethasone 0.5 mg every 12 hours orally for 7 days 5. Albendazole 400 mg daily orally in the morning for 3 day 6. Stop alcohol slowly as it bad side effects on liver Thanks
