Hello Dr., My son is 6 years old and he has a history of Wheezing (asthma), Eosinophil count is now around 790 and Total IGE is 154. Can you please suggest some permanent cure for this condition. He is been in same state since last 4 years with gradual appearance of this condition.
Hello, Although the absolute eosinophil count is high, the total IGE level is not very high which would probably suggest this may not be allergic asthma. However, I would recommend specific IGE blood tests against aeroallergens to ensure he is not allergic to say house dust mite or cockroach as Immunotherapy will help to a great extent if he has any specific allergies. Otherwise, optimal medical management with Fexofenadine, Montelukast and combination inhalers will be enough to control the asthma. Best Wishes.
