Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has running nose, sneezing which suggest allergic rhinitis. He also have eosinophilic eneteritis.

So according to my opinion he should go for allergy test once. It will give you exact item against which he has allergy.

Common allergy test gives idea about allergy to drug, food, dust etc.

Then he should avoid that substance.
