Dry cough could be due to several reasons allergy, chest infections, throat infections, medicines etc. You have to treat the cause. Take symptomatic treatment like warm fluids, saline gargle, not drinking or eating any thing cold if there is throat pain use some throat lozenges and use suppressant cough syrup available over the counter. If he is not responding after 3 days he might have to see the Dr. Who will decide how to proceed further.
