Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of dry cough, sore throat and mucus which seems to be due to chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you do warm saline gargles. You should visit the ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done along with throat swab test and blood tests and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take proper course of antibiotics. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. Apply mist humidifiers in the room.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
