Poor guy. A puppy this young with a cough should not be given or attempted to do home treatments because you will only prolong his treatment and put him at risk for developing pneumonia. Romi needs to be seen by your local vet for antibiotic treatment because he likely has an upper respiratory infection which is caused by a multi-factorial bacterial infection. He should feel better within 48-72 hrs of starting appropriate treatment, so please take him in as soon as possible.
