Since you don’t have an active infection, taking antibiotics “just in case” is not safe. If folliculitis keeps recurring, it’s best to consult a dermatologist, who can run the appropriate tests to identify the root cause. Based on the results, they will recommend the most suitable treatment plan. Regular follow-up will help monitor progress, adjust medicines if needed, and avoid unnecessary long-term antibiotic use.

Monocef would not be beneficial because coughing with eosinophilia (15%) frequently indicates allergy, asthma, or a parasite etiology rather than a bacterial infection. You should consult a physician for an assessment since, depending on the cause, you might require deworming, inhalers, or anti-allergy medications. If your cough or breathing problems don't go away, visit a doctor. Don't take any further antibiotics without a prescription.
