Hello welcome to the health care magic
Dry cough can be from allergic inflammation of bronchi or viral influenza infection....
For that Symptomatic management with antihistaminic drug (ex. Phenylephrine) can be done... It can be prescribed for five days
Avoid excess spicy foods and fatty meals for few days
Vitamin C lozenges chewed three times a day for five days
Drink warm water
Take one tsp ginger juice with honey daily for seven days
If in 5 days no improvement then investigate with CBC, throat swab and chest x ray
Hope your concern solved
Take care
