Hi,

Thanks for your query.

With high eosinophil count and the rashes, it confirms that the condition is due to allergic reaction. The cause for the allergic reaction could be the Zanocin or something else. This can be made sure only by stopping the Zanocin.

Do give him antiallergic medications like Chlorpeneramine, the dosage of which has to be formulated by his treating doctor after examining him.

Hope I answered your query.

Please let me know if there are any other concerns.
