I would recommend going back to the vet for another evaluation since Kota's cough is getting worse instead of better. Difficulty breathing always makes me concerned enough to recommend an appointment right away. She may need antibiotics, x-rays, sedation for evaluation of her nose to make sure nothing in stuck in there (this is unlikely to be necessary right away). I hope Kota is feel better soon!
