General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the symptoms of dry cough and throat indicates possible viral infection involving upper respiratory tract. My guidelines for better recovery:
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water added tincture benzoin
- Prefer hot liquids such as tea, coffee and avoid aerated drinks
- Do not opt for dairy fat, ice cream, pastry etc.
- Use Benzyl pearls to be chewed 4 times a day
- Cough formulations with codeine will require prescription of your primary care
- Avoid exposure to dust, pollen in atmosphere as pollutants
- Avoid smoking (active or passive) and tobacco if applicable

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
