What is the cause of coughing in dogs and what medication can be given?
Unless there is something lodged in the dog's throat or is choking (see a vet ASAP), most dog coughs are an infection called "kennel cough." A vet can help you treat kennel cough--and there are vaccines that work against some kinds of it. Don't expose a coughing dog to other dogs to prevent the spread of the infection. Some dogs get allergies, and the cough could be related to that as well. A vet will help you figure out if your dog has allergies.
Can humans and dogs get the same virus or hacking cough illness?
To the best of my knowledge, no - I can't think of a viral respiratory illness in which the same virus infects both humans and dogs. Both humans and dogs can become sick with influenza, but the viruses are different (humans tend to get H1 and H2 versions while dogs currently have an H3N9 version running around).

Can you give licorice to dogs?
"Lomitol" is not a valid drug name; I believe you are referring to "Lomotil", an anti-diarrhea drug for humans. This drug should never be given to dogs, as diarrhea in dogs tends to be either allergic or infectious in nature and this drug can worsen the diarrhea. Also, part of the drug is atropine, a not uncommon drug used to control some heart problems in dogs - giving Lomotil to a dog already on atropine or other heat medications could cause a fatal overdose. If your dog has diarrhea that persists for several days or your dog has diarrhea with other signs of illness (vomiting, lethargy, decreased appetite, etc), you should take him/her to a veterinarian for an examination where you will get much safer drugs if your dog needs them.
