Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
At 2 years of age it is difficult to tell as asthma, and the best treatment is to avoid allergen. Now can give steam inhalation and warm water to drink. If there is any precipitating cause like flue, some purticular seaseon then try to avoid it, daily mopping of the floor in evening, clean fan and other places to prevent allergen. Since dry cough with no ather symptoms get examined for tonsils and adenoids once as this enlargement also can cause these symptoms.
Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
