Hi thanks for asking question.
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.
For diagnosis of cough variant asthma pulmonary function test done for it.
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.
