There are several possible causes. It can be anything from simple Allergies to something more serious, such as heartworms or congestive heart failure. The only way to get an accurate diagnosis, and recommendations for proper treatment, if any, is to visit the veterinarian. The sooner it is properly diagnosed, the better chance you may have of a successful treatment.

Nothing - human medications can be very dangerous for dogs. If your dog is having trouble breathing, you should take him to the vet immediately. However, if your dog is otherwise bright and alert but has a blocked nostril, you can probably just keep an eye on him for a few days and see if he clears the stuffy nose on his own.

Dogs can get cold or flu, just like humans and then they sometimes cough. There is a dog illness called kennel cough, which dogs can get from other dogs which would result in a dog coughing.
