Hello, thank you for reaching out.
Your dry cough with a slightly elevated body temperature for the past few days may be due to a viral respiratory infection or an allergic cause.
Before suggesting any medication, please let me know:
* What is your current body temperature?
* Do you have sneezing, a runny nose, sore throat, or breathing difficulty?
* Is the cough completely dry or associated with sputum?
* Do you have any known allergies, existing medical conditions, or current medications?
Next Steps
Please avoid self-medicating with antibiotics. If you develop difficulty breathing, chest pain, or persistent high fever, seek prompt medical evaluation.
Health Tips
Please monitor your temperature, stay well hydrated, and try warm fluids and honey for symptomatic relief.

A dry cough with a mild fever for a few days is usually from a viral infection or allergic irritation, especially since you already have a cold allergy. The right cough syrup depends on what's actually causing it, so picking one yourself isn't the safest route.
Next Steps
Please see a general physician, who can examine your throat and chest and prescribe a syrup and fever medicine that account for your allergy. Warm fluids and steam inhalation can ease things meanwhile.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if your fever rises further, breathing feels difficult, or the cough brings up blood or thick coloured phlegm.
