The Earth was flat for many years. The term "cold" is still lingering in our civilization but means nothing, i.e., "I don't know what it is." Most respiratory problems, in opposition to common belief (such as the Earth is flat) are caused by inhallation of toxic substances such as ammonia (Windex), perfumes, x-mas trees, etc. If its an infection, such as a virus or bacterial, a fever will develope. (A dog's temperature is 101 on average not 98.6) Dogs can also get foreign material in their airways such as bones, hair-ball etc. If the problem persists make sure you see a vet.
common symptoms are shaking, breathing strangely,and sneezing.
yes dogs can catch infections from humans. Like cough, sneezing etc
A regular cough in a dog can be a symptom of "kennel cough," which the canine version of cold or flu, or it could be allergies, or it could be something much worse. Take your dog to the vet ASAP to find out what's wrong and learn how to treat it.
If your dog shows symptoms of kennel cough the first thing you need to do is isolate him from other pets you may have or be in contact with. Go to the vet A.S.A.P. The'll take it from here.

It probably means your dog has a cold or upper respiratory infection. It also means you should take him to your veterinarian - or at least give them a call.
Yes,I have heard of of what vets call reverse sneezing. It is important to take your dog to the vet if it is choking.
NO but they do hack it is like coughing but not quite
You can give your dog certain over the counter cough medications for humans that contain dextromethorphan. This does include Triaminic cough medication.
Kennel cough is perhaps the closest canine equivalent to the common cold. It's rarely life-threatening, but it sure can be uncomfortable for your dog. Fortunately, an annual vaccination can protect your dog from kennel cough. If you plan to board your dog, enter him into competition, or let him spend lots of time around other dogs, get him vaccinated. At many shows and kennels, in fact, it's required. Aside from the hacking cough, your dog will appear generally healthy, with a good appetite. He'll simply suffer through it.http://dogtime.com/kennel-cough.html
There are very few illnesses which can be transmitted from canine to human - unless your dog has rabies. But just to be safe, it's best to not let the dog lick your face, and wash your hands after petting him or her.
