Pulmonologist 's  Response
In my opinion you are having allergic cough. Since you have slightly high eosinophil count with past history of eczema favours allergic cough. Please consult pulmonologist and get done PFT and chest x ray. Sometimes small airway obstruction can cause such irritant cough. And this can be picked by PFT in the form of FEV 25 - 75 %.
