You may try a simple dextromethorphan-based cough syrup for relief from a dry cough. If your cough persists for more than two weeks, worsens, or you develop a fever or breathlessness, please see a doctor promptly.

For your dry, sticky cough lasting one week, consider the following:
Symptom Relief:
- Cough syrups with dextromethorphan can help suppress the cough reflex.
Hydration and Soothing:
- Syrups containing honey or glycerin can soothe the throat.
Underlying Cause:
- If additional symptoms like fever or shortness of breath occur, consult a healthcare provider.
Over-the-Counter Options:
- Benadryl Cough Syrup or local equivalents may be helpful. Follow dosage instructions.
When to Seek Medical Advice:
- If the cough persists beyond two weeks or worsens, seek medical evaluation.
Stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoke. If you have other health conditions or medications, consult a pharmacist or doctor before starting any new cough syrup.
