Brief Answer:
you may be having an allergy

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Increase in the eosinophil count points towards an allergic reaction and i would like you to start syrup allerid/phenargan 2 teaspoon twice a day , this will reduce the allergy and give you relief.

I would also like you to meet an allergy specialist once your symptoms resolve and get a complete examination done , to find out what you are allergic to.

You do not need any more antibiotics , so please stop them.

You can also take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day , it will soothe your airway and give you relief.

Take care
