Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Recurrent cold which gets cured after aking appropriate medicines can be due to allergic rhinitis or chronic sinuitis.
Eosinophilia is suggestive of an allergic cause. Getting an allergy profile evaluated will help in detecting the exact cause.
To rule out chronic sinus infection, CT scan of paranasal sinuses will be helpful.
The treatmnt depends on the cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Dr. Rakhi Tayal
