Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Good day. Two weeks before, my stomach ached. There was diarrhea, pain, belching. I did an ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity, and it showed increased echogenicity of the pancreas. So before three months, I did a gastroscopy, which was done to diagnose gastritis. The results of the helicobacter test are as follows: Analyzes for bilirubin and liver enzymes are normal. C-protein is normal. However, my eosinophils are elevated. 6.5% at a rate of 1 to 5%. I still have these symptoms, and my tongue and anus itch. What could it be? I also have autoimmune thyroiditis, biliary reflux, and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Also, I was COVID positive two months ago. Is this something scary?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query. You have been diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis as well as sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. And you are currently having symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating. Also, you have recovered from COVID.
These are the answers to your questions:
1) 6.5% eosinophil count is only marginally raised. So do not worry about it. It May be you can repeat a CBC (complete blood count) after two to three months to check how it is behaving.
2) Your symptoms of abdominal pain could be due to sphincter of Oddi dysfunction and bile reflux. It causes bile secretions to go towards the pancreas. They are resulting in inflammation of the pancreas, seen as increased echogenicity of the pancreas. If your symptoms are resolving, then you do not have to worry about it.
3) Altered taste and itching are typical after COVID recovery. However, it usually recovers within two to three months.
I advice you to continue with the medications you are taking, which will help in reducing these symptoms, and have a repeat blood test after two to three months.
Regards.
