Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), because you are having night time cough (dry) since 4 days only.
So try to follow these for symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid oily and spicy food.
2. Drink plenty of fluids
3. Warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
4. Macrolide group of antibiotic.
5. Antihistamines and anti inflammatory drugs.
If not improve in 5 days with these treatment than consult pulmonologist and grt done chest x ray.
