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