Regarding dry cough

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dry cough could be due to drinking unclean water, candida, allergy, worms. Strictly clean water and adding ghee to foods is needed. Avoid taking any medicine that makes dry cough worse.
Treatment of dry cough depends on the cause. Take a short course of steroids in low doses as nebulizer for few days and Ascoril-C cough syrup one dose at night when cough is bad. Also take a deworming course of single tablet of Albendazole. Also let me know if there is any difficulty in breathing.
If dry cough persists, get Complete blood count (including TLC, DLC, AEC), chest X-ray and test for microfilaria done. Further opinion can be given with more details.
You can let your ENT specialist know about my opinion and order required tests. Based on the reports, we can arrive at a certain diagnosis and prescribe suitable treatment as needed.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
