You seem to be suffering from post viral cough which is a common type of cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can use dry cough syrups, strepsils like lozenges for symptomatic relief. Steam inhalation is also beneficial
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
