3. Persistent Cough: Decoding its Link with Eosinophilia
A persistent cough is a frequently observed symptom in cases of eosinophilia. This type of cough is enduring, often lingering for weeks or months. It arises from the inflammation of respiratory pathways, exacerbated by the high levels of eosinophils.
This cough is not just any ordinary cough. It’s usually dry, harsh, and can occur at any time of day, often worsening at night. The persistent nature of the cough significantly affects sleep patterns and can lead to fatigue.
The presence of a persistent cough should not be underestimated. It’s a clear sign that the body is reacting to an internal imbalance, possibly linked to eosinophilic activity. Ignoring this symptom can lead to worsening of the underlying condition.
When faced with such a cough, it’s advisable to seek medical attention. A healthcare provider can assess whether eosinophilia is the underlying cause. Treating the root issue can alleviate the cough and improve respiratory health. (3)
