Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. It sounds like he has an upper respiratory tract infection based on the symptoms you have described. He will need to see his veterinarian if the coughing persists. In the meantime, you can turn the shower to hot and close the bathroom door. Allow the steam to build up. Then place him in the bathroom to breathe the warm humid air. This can ease congestion. It is unlikely that he acquired the infection from you, but it is possible. I hope this information helps!
