Brief Answer:
Cough
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
In most cases, strep doesn't come with cough. Additionally, strep typically comes with throat pain, and often fever. It is more likely that the cough is due to the dry air. However, keep in mind that there is no way to say with %100 certainty that it is not strep without doing an in office strep test.
