Thank you for asking!
usually dry cough that long is allergic and irritating one. So keeping airways clear and using food friendly with throat helps avoiding beverages, spices colds and sour things help. U would suggest avoid pork or use it in the most innocuous form where it can do least damage like boiled or well cooked with no spices etc in it.rest assured it is not that contraindicated.
Seek symptomatic management with cough remedies and let the doctor help nearby if symptoms persist.
