Hello,

Yes, in hot climates there is dryness of nose and nasopharynx which may prone for infections. Use humidifier to room, dry cough means you won't get sputum. Use tablet amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 625 mg for five days. Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your physician / ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
