Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of starting the problem with sore throat and then the dry cough in bots continues for about one month.
Noted your habits of healthy diet, exercises and plenty of water orally.

The probable reasons can be allergic cough as it is taking so much time to settle and may be the allergens are there in and aorund your house and /or work place.
I would advise you the following:
Make list of the things that instigate or enhance such a problem.
Try to avoid exposure to all such things as a primary treatment.
Symptomatic treatment in the for m of antihistamine and steroids if required.
This will give you permanent relief.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be allergic condition and no specific treatment needed for this but some time antihistamine can be used, and best option would be "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg" three times in day, try some steam inhalation, pure honey at bed time, if the symptoms persist then it may need some investigations (routine ) like blood work and x-ray chest, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
