Dry cough since 20 days
I have dry cough since last week of July. The coughing gets worse when I'm lying down and is minimum when I'm sitting or standing straight. The phlegm, if and when produced, is translucent white in colour but very little in quantity. Help! Is this normal cough or something else?

As per your description..it seems you have allergic rhinitis with post nasal drip..take anti-allergic tablet.. steam inhalation.. visit an ENT specialist for proper assessment and treatment.
