Simple pulmonary eosinophilia is a transient inflammation of the lungs characterized by the buildup of a type of white blood cell called eosinophils in the lung tissue.

Common symptoms: It may go on without discomfort or be accompanied by a dry cough, a sensation of shortness of breath, or general malaise that tends to resolve in a short time.

Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist is the one who studies conditions of the respiratory system and can provide guidance on the origin of this condition; consulting them helps to understand the condition and rule out other causes with peace of mind.
