Hello Please note that my mother bronchoscopy done on 06th of April 2024 and after that oxygen level was down. So doctor has advised to keep her on oxygen support with 1 litre per minute on oxygen concentrator at home till 30 th April and can decrease the level to half litre if oxygen level maintained.

My mother was reported Eosinophilia in her blood test. She took Hetrazan 100 - 3 times a day and deskast once daily. This course was taken for 1 month. In her latest blood test after taking above medication, there was no improvement is eosinophils count. Differential count is 15%. Absolute count is 1409/cmm. Medical history - Diabetic since 10 years under control Asthametic- since many years but under control. Sometimes she takes Aerocort rotacaps for Asthama. Blood pressure - betaloc 25 mg once daily. No symptoms as Eosinophilia was detected accidentally. I looked into her past two years blood reports and noticed that she always had elevated eosinophils count. Please suggest what is the reason and can this be brought under control. Why is it not reduces after taking hetrazan 100. Thanks.
