HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Chronic or persistent dry cough is commonly related to: (1) post nasal drip
(2) asthma (3) GERD
Post nasal drip is most common. In some persons, it is silent, they only experience the cough not the drip. This is treated with the use of topical steroid nasal sprays and oral anti histamines.
You can consider asking his doctor about this possibility.
Asthma and gastroesophageal reflux can also be associated with cough.
I hope this helps
