Hi,
Looking at your laboratory data suggest eosinophilia. All the other reports are within normal limits.
Eosinophilia or raised eosinophil count could be due to many causes. In you I strongly suspect:
1. Dust Allergy
2. Parasitic infection of gut.

Since your have a running nose due to cold and fever, it might have caused it.
Take anti-histaminics to reduce it.
Even after control of running nose, if the eosinophil count does not reduce to below 6%, you need to get a stool examination done for ova and cysts.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
