It generally takes a bit of time for the dry cough to reduce after a bout of nose or throat infection. If you have sputum in your cough then further course of antibiotics may be required. If it is dry then you will need to take steam twice a day along with the tablets you are taking and it may feel much better.

Come down to my clinic Healthcare@Basaveshwaranagar. You need a proper ENT examination to resolve your problem. Local GPs will just push you off with some antihistamines and analgesics!

You seem to be suffering from post viral cough which is common type of dry cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can use dry cough syrups, strepsils like lozenges and steam inhalation for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
