I have had a sore, dry throat for 6 days and have been coughing constantly and it is harder to swallow. what should i do?

See a doctor: Six days without improvement and possible progression of symptoms not improvement with time indicate the cause might not be viral and could be infectious so it is time to see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment
