Suggest Treatment For Eosinophilia
I had respiratory difficulties last year and after undergoing a blood test, my doctor told me that I had eosinophilia. I got treated for it and symtoms vanished.
I even got a PFT done which showed normal results.
Six months later I got those symptoms again and my doctor after examining me suggested it is bronchitis. I was then put on inhaler treatment.
I am using a combination of Beclomethasone Dipropionate 100 mcg and Salmeterol Xinafoate 25 mcg. I use it only once at night (1 puff each).
For the last 1 week, I am using it twice daily (3 puffs and 1 puff). What could be the reason?
Could this be Asthma.

Yes; this is kind of asthma possibly od environmental allergen origin!
Hi! eosinophilia is very common in any population but its severity, cause and symptoms vary from itching, allergy, diarrhea, dermatitis, respiratory problems, lymphedema and so on...!
Allergens in the air that also cause atopic allergy might trigger and hyperactivate bronchial mucosa leading to asthmatic attack!
Batteries of allergen tests are commercially available so that patients can avoid these therefore see a chest physician if there is anything for you like this and this could make your symptoms go!
