Here your eisiophils are high. So it could most probably allergic lung condition like allergic bronchitis or asthma. Take drug prescribed by doctor. Avoid allergen like dust, pollen , cold itmes or any foods to which you are allergic.
Second although chances are less high eosinophil could be by parasitic infection like by filaria or round worms.So PS for filaria at night and stool examination done for rule out it.
Take care.
Wish you good health. Dr.Parth Goswami
