Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry cough which are pointing towards condition known as severe upper respiratory tract infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay. Doctor may order blood test and throat swab test and get an x ray of the chest done. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for at least for 5 days along with decongestants and mucolytic agents. Steam inhalation 3 times a day is good for you. For now do warm saline rinses and you should take proper rest. Take cough expectorants. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
