Hi Dr. Paramesh This is reg. my son, aged 11+, who has been suffering from chronic cough problem for many years now. He underwent lung function test and it was found normal. His Eosinophill levels have always been very high. Is there any likely treatment that will cure him from this problem? Thks D. Bose
There are many Lung Diseases associated with peripheral Eosinophilia & many require prolonged courses of corticosteroids (preferably inhaled corticosteroids say Budesonide, Fluticasone, etc) for months to years.
Infectious etiologies of pulmonary eosinophilia are largely due to helminths and are treatable with anti-helminthics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
