Is eosinophilic asthma mostly severe?

[Unfocusedarrow]

Hi, I am just looking for info really I was wondering about eosinophilic asthma, how common is it and is it always severe or are most cases mild? I have had chronic rhinitis with nasal polyps for a decade now and because my mum has asthma I was told that I’l likely get it (I am assuming the eosinophilic type). I think it is a type of eosinophilic rhinitis I have as I have to keep taking high dose nasal steroids and my blood eosinophil count is always 0.6 x 10/L

Predictive text is a pain. But as Samters is usually eosinophilic, you may find some useful information on the website.
