You might be suffering from post viral cough which is a common type of post viral cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You may need to do steam inhalation Two times daily and use strepsils like lozenges for symptomatic relief
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
