hello
welcome to HCM
as per the details u have submitted u were having a condition called ALLERGIC URTICARIA DUE TO FOOD ..that means you are sensitive to shrimp. unfortunately only the remedy avaialable for any food allergy is avoidance of food that causing the hives...i advise you to use anti-histamines with combination of FEXOFENADINE+MONTELEUKAST and try to avoid the allergans as much as possible...
regarding your eosiniphil count, when ever the body exposes to allergans , the eosinophil count increases., so there is no seperated medicine for increased eosinophil count as in ur case.
hope this will help u ..
