Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Raised eosinophil count suggests allergy.
Recurrent cough, cold in the child suggest asthma more. Asthma is also an allergic disease.
So possibility of allergic asthma is more in your child's case.
Duolin and budecort are appropriate medications for Asthma.
Along with this, oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) is also beneficial.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your child. Thanks.
