What Causes Dry Throat, Chest Pain And Irritation In The Throat?

4 days ago I started to cough very badly like every 5 mins. But the coughs had no mucus. I thought maybe it is dry coughing or I have inhaled a chewing gum. I do not feed any chest pain, just irritation on the throat especially when I look upwards. Any help? I am very worried
