You should not give your dog anything. Most canine upper respiratory infections are caused by viruses, so there isn't any medication that would be effective in either treating the symptoms or clearing the infection. Also, most healthy dogs are able to handle a simple viral infection and clear it on their own without medications.

In any circumstance, you should never give human medication to your dog - they can have very severe side effects that may include death. If you think your dog is sick enough to need medication, you should take him/her to your veterinarian for examination and treatment.
