High eosinophils after Dogbite.
10 years ago i had a dogbite, after which my eosinophils level raised high and went up 7 times than normal range , i got very sick, fever chills headache fatigue were symptoms, i was put on heavy antibiotics for 6 months, all antibiotics were given orally in tablet form, and i was very scared and anxious due to this illness during this period. It took me total 13-14 months to recover completely. I recovered but one problem ends another begins. I got tinnitus in ear, my eyes turn red, and my body itches, mostly the underarm groin area followed by this treatment period, for which doctor has given me steroid cream and i am using this steroid cream since last 10 years. Now I feel like I'll never be all right like i was before that dogbite incident. I just want to know that how these other problems came in my body the itching tinnitus and red eyes. What went wrong?

Whatever has happened has happened. It can't be undone.
Eosinophilia is due to a specific cause and it doesn't need long term antibiotics, certainly not for six months. It was not related to dog bite.
Tinnitus may be a side effect of antibiotics. Eyes turning red and itching all over the body is not related to your previous problems but you have a habit of getting over treatment. This time you got steroid ointment for 10 years. Again there was no need for such a prolonged treatment.
My guess is that it was self medication based on Google advice.
Please consult an ENT Specialist, an Ophthalmologist, a Neurophysician, and a Dermatologist one by one.
