Go for stool test for parasite infection. Eosinophil is increased because of ongoing parasitic infection.

Hello.
An eosinophil count of 9% is mildly elevated. This is commonly seen with allergies, parasitic infections, skin conditions, or respiratory allergies, and treatment usually depends on the underlying cause rather than only lowering the count.
Next steps:
You may consider a deworming tablet such as Albendazole 400 mg (single dose after food) if it has not been taken in the last 6 months.
If there are allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, rash, or cough, an anti-allergic such as Levocetirizine 5 mg at night for a few days
Helpful tips:
• Maintain good hygiene and wash fruits/vegetables properly
• Avoid known allergens like dust, pollen, or certain foods if you notice reactions
• Repeat CBC after a few weeks if the count was done during illness
If the eosinophil count remains elevated or you have persistent symptoms, a detailed evaluation may be required to identify the cause. You may consult for proper assessment and further guidance.

Dear Patient,
An eosinophil count of 9% is mildly elevated. This condition is called eosinophilia and is commonly seen due to allergies, parasitic (worm) infections, asthma, skin allergies, or certain infections.
What you can do:
• Consider deworming (Albendazole 400 mg single dose) if not taken recently
• If allergy symptoms are present, antihistamine such as Levocetirizine may help
• Maintain good hygiene and avoid known allergens if any
Usually, mild eosinophilia is not dangerous, but identifying the underlying cause is important.
If the level persists or increases, further evaluation such as absolute eosinophil count, stool test for parasites, or allergy assessment may be needed.
For proper evaluation and treatment guidance, you can text me on Practo for detailed advice and medication guidance.
