Sore Throat and Cough

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

For the past 4 days, I'm having dry cough and sore throat. During the time when I'm sleeping, I won't cough. But in the remaining time I'm getting dry cough and sore throat. I've tried having ginger tea, salt water gargle but it didn't worked. Can anyone suggest what could be done to reduce this problem?
