3 days ago, i was eating and hot oil shot down my throat. within 20 mins, my throat was irritated and the next day, i was horse with a sore throat. now i have a persistent, dry cough. is this a part of the healing process? i have no fever or mucus?

Hard candy may help.: The cough is a symptom and unlikely to be part of healing process. It is expression of irritation. It is good you are okay but you could try hard candy, some have honey or menthol, that may relieve the symptoms for you and allow the destroyed epithelial cells to heal in time.
