A dry cough and sore throat for a few days may occur due to a viral infection or throat irritation. Warm fluids, steam inhalation, and adequate rest may help soothe the throat and reduce coughing. Grilinctus BM cough syrup is sometimes used to relieve cough symptoms. Consult a doctor before using it to ensure it is suitable for your condition.

A night cough may occur due to throat irritation, an allergy, or mucus collecting while lying down. Warm fluids, steam inhalation, and sleeping with the head slightly raised may help reduce nighttime coughing. Avoid cold drinks, dust, and smoke that can worsen the cough. Consult a doctor if the cough continues or becomes severe.
