Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of URI and attendant symptoms as you explained which have settled to a certain extent.
But the cough and feeling of lump in the throat persists.
And also the dry throat.
Dry throat can be due to antihistamines, dehydration, infection, smoking, exposure to the the irritants throughout the day .
I would advise you to reduce the dosages of the antihistamines, have steam inhalations, maintain hydration, continue the antibiotics, stop smoking, and you will be fine soon.


This also give feeling of a lump,
I find this answer helpful
