Brief Answer:
This could possibly be caused by acid reflux!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I have reviewed this information fully and this could be suggestive of acid reflux. This often presents with dry cough and the sensation of a foreign body in the throat. For now, I will suggest that you take omeprazole as well as avoid fatty meals, alcohol and coffee. Also, avoid eating too close to bedtime and leaning forward shortly after meals. These measures should help. If they fail to, I will suggest that you seek further evaluation with your doctor.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
