Patient's question:
When I was very young, I had a case of pneumonia, which was later cured. But recently, these past few days, he has started coughing again and has been wheezing constantly. He doesn't really have an appetite for dinner and his complexion is also quite poor. So, I took him for a thorough examination, and the doctor said his tropical pulmonary eosinophils have been continuously increasing.What kind of assistance is needed: The child's tropical pulmonary eosinophils have been continuously increasing—what should we do?
Doctor's answer:
Conduct a population census on individuals aged 1 and above in prevalent areas during the summer, and implement general treatment for microfilaria-positive individuals or those with a history of filariasis and clinical signs during the winter.Prevent and control mosquitoes by vigorously promoting the campaign for patriotism and hygiene, eliminating mosquito breeding sites. Use mosquito nets correctly during the mosquito season; when working outdoors, apply mosquito repellent oil, mosquito repellent sprays, and other repellents to exposed skin areas, and use mosquito nets for the head (made from 701 anti-mosquito oil, washed with cotton thread).
