Brief Answer:
Mostly Allergic

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

From the description provided by you, I feel that the dry cough in morning since 2 days could be due to Allergic causes like exposure to cold, dust, Cotton from the bedsheets or pillow.

But would like to know, when and how does it start and reduce? Is it present through out the day? Do you have any sore throat or difficulty in swallowing? Do you smoke? If yes, how many packs a day and since when?

Follow these measures which will help in reducing your symptoms:
1. Syp Grillinctus 2tsp three times a day. After taking the cough syrup do not take anything for half an hour.
2. XXXXXXX warm salt water gargling three to four times a day.
3. Throat lozenges like strepsils or XXXXXXX or Vicks as much as required.
4. Consume only boiled water.
5. Keep your room and bed linen clean
6. Stop smoking if you smoke
7. Observe for any allergens which triggers your cough and avoid it.

Hope this answers your query. If any further clarifications, will be happy to help you.

Regards.
