Severe dry cough for a couple of days

Question

Asked for Female, 65 Years

My Mother-in-law has severe dry cough for past 3 days. No mucus comes out while coughing. This has lead to hoarseness in her voice. Not only that, due to the severe dry cough her body has started aching while coughing. She usually has such coughs during every season change. This makes her physically weak as well. She has no appetite either. In such a condition what medicines could be used for her ailment. Please suggest me.
