What does it mean if eosinophils are high, and should I be worried? - #14612
I recently got a blood test, and my report showed that my eosinophils are higher than the normal range. I don’t really understand what this means, but when I looked it up, I found that eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that fights infections and allergies. What are the common reasons for high eosinophils? Can it just be seasonal allergies, or does it mean something more serious, like an infection or autoimmune disease? I’ve had a stuffy nose and mild itching for the past few weeks, so could that be the reason my eosinophils are elevated? I also saw that high eosinophils can sometimes be linked to asthma, parasites, or even certain types of blood disorders. How do doctors figure out what’s causing the increase? Should I get more tests done, or is it okay to just wait and see if my levels go back to normal? If anyone has dealt with high eosinophils before, what was the cause, and how did you treat it? Did your levels return to normal on their own, or did you need medication?
