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 steam inhalation and strepsils like lozenges for symptomatic relief. Dry cough syrups are also beneficial
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
