A dry cough with pain while coughing can be uncomfortable and may indicate irritation or inflammation in your throat or airways. This could be due to a viral infection, allergy, or bronchitis.

• Since you mentioned symptoms consistent with irritation and pain, a medication like Relent Plus Syrup, which contains cetirizine (an antihistamine) and ambroxol (a mucolytic), might help by reducing allergy symptoms and loosening mucus to ease coughing.
• Avoid irritants like smoke or strong fumes, stay hydrated, and rest your voice as much as possible.
• If your symptoms worsen, persist beyond a week, or you develop fever, difficulty breathing, or chest pain, seek evaluation from a pulmonologist (lung specialist).

Please consult a pulmonologist to get a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
