Brief Answer:
Antihistaminics/DEC may help you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He may have some associated illness like allergy, hypersensitivity or asthma.
He should search the cause for eosinophilia and take treatment accordingly. Antihistaminics drugs like chlorpheneremine malate ( avil ) or diethyl carbamazepine is helpful to control absolute eosinophil count.
He should also consult his oncologist for his chemotherapy dose modifications.
