<upd_detl>NOTE: 乾いた咳	5212	
乾いた咳が止まら	154	  

Given  that sankoku gives only 空咳, and 空咳 is dominant in n-grams, it doesn't seem these should be listed out-of-order.

This means this isn't needed:
  [note="esp. 空咳"]

乾咳 is very nearly [rK] by n-grams.

Not sure why Japanese people write カラ in kana... By analogy with カラオケ？Too many readings on 空く.   I'm sure they write から咳 sometimes as well, but these n-grams are overwhelmed by ~から、咳...</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>空咳	9969	69.4%
カラ咳	1360	9.5%
乾咳	503	3.5%

カラせき	22	0.2%

空咳が止まらない	8
カラ咳が止まらない	33

(others 0)

nikk lists as 乾咳・空咳
daij reverses: から‐せき【空×咳／▽乾×咳】
sankoku gives 空咳 only.
たんの出ないせき。からざき

Physical printed example with leading katakana:
カラ咳が止まらない
