Hi,
A dry cough can be a natural means to clear air passage/infection/allergy/asthma/irritation of airway by irritants like smoke (maybe passive smoking) dust/post nasal drip due to recurrent cold or sinus/side effect of blood pressure medication.
Cause needs to be found followed by specific treatment of cause. Cough syrup with codeine can give temporary relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
