It has been almost 2 months that I have been suffering from cough and cold. My blood report indicates a cold infection. Even after completing the course of antibiotics, I have not found much relief. I still have terrible coughing fits at times, which sometimes cause me to choke. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

Cough persisting for 2 months after infection may be due to airway inflammation or post infectious bronchitis. Since antibiotics did not help, consider lung function testing.

Question

For the last 20 days I have been feeling dizziness. My eyes and ears are fine. But my blood report shows my eosinophils are slightly high at about 7. Can this be the reason for the dizziness? Will I always have eosinophilia? How can it be cured permanently? Am I at higher risk of eosinophilia in the future?
