Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion the dry cough can be due to allergy.As the cough is not associated with altered sputum and fever the infection is ruled out.Avoid any perfumed sprays in the room.The excessive cough and prolonged cough might cause muscle pain leading to stomach pain.Take cough suppressants for dry cough suggested by your doctor.Dont worry.It will subside.If pain is severe take panadol.If pain doesn't subside consult doctor.
