You might be suffering from post viral cough which is a common type of dry cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection with eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold or viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually both this conditions are self resolving and you can take over the counter analgesics and anti cough preparations for symptomatic relief
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
