I've been dealing with allergies from things like dust and pollen, which usually leave me with a running nose and watery eyes. To manage this, I've been taking Cetrizine 10mg every few days for about a year now. I'm just a bit worried about whether there are any serious side effects from using this medication long-term? Or maybe there's a better way to handle this that I haven't tried?

I'm looking for some advice because my eosinophils are still high; the latest blood test showed 925. I finished my TB treatment back in July 2021. My cholesterol is under control since I had extra pulmonary TB in the heart area. I just need to know what could be causing thisis it some kind of reaction or allergy? I have a lingering slight cough, but it's not really bothering me. All my other tests for lungs, kidneys, etc., are normal. What should I do next?

it might be due to some infection, allergy, if you have all other functions normal then don't worry
