How to manage elevated eosinophil levels in the body
Eosinophilia is generally managed through medication, treatment of the underlying primary disease, or hormone therapy. Patients are advised to receive treatment under the guidance of a physician. Specific approaches are as follows:
1. Medication Therapy
Eosinophilia is commonly caused by allergic conditions such as bronchial asthma or drug allergies. Under medical supervision, patients may take oral medications such as loratadine tablets, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets, or methylprednisolone tablets.
2. Treatment of Primary Disease
Elevated eosinophil levels may result from primary disorders, including connective tissue diseases like eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and tumor-related conditions such as lymphoma or myeloproliferative neoplasms. In such cases, eosinophil counts can only return to normal once the primary disease is effectively treated. Patients should promptly visit the oncology department of a hospital for evaluation and possible surgical intervention.
3. Hormone Therapy
For idiopathic eosinophilia, hormone therapy may be used to reduce eosinophil counts to normal levels. Under medical supervision, patients may take oral corticosteroids such as prednisone acetate tablets, methylprednisolone tablets, or dexamethasone tablets.
In addition to the above treatments, patients may benefit from medicinal diets and traditional Chinese medicine therapies. It is also important to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular sleep patterns, moderate exercise, emotional stability, and active cooperation with medical treatment.
