Hello,
Baby having raised eosinophils suggestive of an allergic condition, treatment consists of inhaled steroid as Seroflow, salbutamol, oral montelukast combinations. Seroflow act locally so do not suppress immunity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
