Detailed Answer:
Hii. The major causes are allergic pharyngitis,acid reflux. It may be due to chronic pharyngitis secondary to nasal sinus allergy. Sometimes obstructive sleep apnea may also cause prolonged mouth breathing during sleeping which may cause scratchy throat. Dry cough is mainly due to allergic pharyngitis and acid reflux. Prolonged dry cough can be due to lower respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, tuberculosis. If dry eyes are present then it is due to allergic reaction, excessive heat.
