Brief Answer:
Viral vs allergic cough.....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Difficult to predict what caused the dry cough. But considering the short duration of history it is likely to be viral or allergic cough. I hope you don't suffer from dry cough / breathing difficulties regularly in the past.

In such cases, I suggest starting antitussive cough syrup like Syp Ascoril D 5ml three times a day. It is a prescription drug and your doctor will know about it. In addition, keep yourself warm. Steam inhalation will also benefit you.

Hope this helps.

Regards
