Brief Answer:
It is likely due to allergy

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Elevated eosinophils most commonly represent allergy either respiratory viral in nature or due to parasitic infections. If there is no response to nizonide, then anti allergic may be tried including a short course of steroids. It is not a serious issue and eosinophil counts will fall back to normal once cold and sneezing subsides.

Thanks.
