A dry cough that occurs only in air-conditioned or cold environments is usually caused by irritation from cold or dry air. Cold air can dry out the airway lining and trigger cough receptors, making you more likely to cough. To manage it, you can cover your nose and mouth with a scarf or mask, stay hydrated, drink warm fluids, and use a humidifier or adjust the air conditioning to maintain moderate humidity. If these measures do not provide relief or the cough persists, it is essential to consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

A dry cough that occurs mainly at bedtime is often caused by post-nasal drip, allergies, or acid reflux. To manage it, try elevating your head while sleeping, using a humidifier, avoiding allergens, and not eating heavy or spicy meals before bed. Staying hydrated and using throat lozenges or warm fluids may also help soothe irritation. If the cough persists or worsens, or is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, or chest pain, you should consult a doctor to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

A dry cough with central throat pain is often caused by viral infections, throat irritation, allergies, or post-nasal drip or other conditions.

If the pain or cough persists, worsens, or is accompanied by high fever, difficulty swallowing, or shortness of breath, you should see a doctor to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment, whether it is viral, bacterial, or another condition.

A dry cough and throat irritation from oily or spicy foods are usually due to acid reflux or throat irritation.

Drinking warm fluids, staying hydrated, and using throat lozenges or honey can help soothe irritation. If the cough or irritation persists or worsens, or is accompanied by difficulty swallowing, persistent heartburn, or shortness of breath, you should consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux or other causes.
