I go to see the doctor with a persistent dry cough. He diagnosis me with a "mechanical" cough, basically stating that the dry air combined with some irritations (pollen, dust, etc.) in the air caused me to cough, which irritated my throat and chest which in turn caused me to cough more. Basically it created a cycle that I was unable to break. He prescribed a steroid med-pack and antibiotic and things cleared up in about a week.
