I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing a severe cold and dry cough. For relief, you might consider a medication like Alex Syrup, which is designed to help with dry cough. It contains ingredients that reduce cough reflex, relieve nasal congestion, and block allergic reactions. However, this syrup requires a doctor's prescription and should be taken exactly as advised by a healthcare professional.

In addition to medication, here are some self-care tips you can follow at home:

• Drink plenty of warm fluids like herbal teas, warm water with honey and lemon, or soups to soothe your throat and loosen mucus.
• Rest adequately to help your body fight the infection.
• Use a humidifier or inhale steam to keep your airways moist.
• Avoid irritants such as smoke or strong perfumes.
• Maintain a balanced diet including traditional Indian foods like dals, millets, and seasonal vegetables to support your immune system.

If your symptoms worsen, persist beyond a week, or you develop high fever, difficulty breathing, or chest pain, please seek immediate medical attention.

I recommend consulting a general physician or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist to get a proper evaluation and prescription tailored to your condition.
