Brief Answer:
Parasitic infestation could be present

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The elevation in eosinophil count indicates an allergic reaction. This could happen due to a fungal or parasitic infection or infestation. Intestinal worms or the presence of parasites like filaria could be the cause. The condition therefore needs to be evaluated. Taking some antiallergic like cetirizine or benadryl (or possibly better ones like fexofenadine or loratidine which are prescription medicines) should help.

Based on the findings you might need deworming or could need to be treated for filariasis.

Let me know if I could help further.
