Dry cough is due to allergy and throat irritation due to nasal infection or allergy as well. This can be improved by taking antiallergic medications for timebeing.

Dry cough could be due to allergy as well. Even an unsettled infection can result in the same.

My sister had the same problem and later she went to a doctor and was diagnosed due to a viral infection.
