Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) as you have dry cough with throat irritation.
So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid oily and spicy food.
2. Avoid hard to eat food.
3. Drink plenty of fluids. Keep yourself hydrated.
4. Warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
5. Start macrolide group of antibiotic.
6. Start antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
Since these drugs are prescribed medicines, you need to consult doctor for this.
