However, if the coughing is relatively new, is getting worse or the dog is starting to cough and then swallow something, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination. Causes of chronic coughing can include cancer (particularly in older dogs), chronic infection, sterile bronchitis and anatomic malformations.
Cough sweets can be toxic to dogs, depending on their ingredients. Many cough drops contain xylitol, a sugar substitute that is highly toxic to dogs and can cause severe health issues.

You should never give human medications to dogs - dogs do not react to the medications the same way people do. In particular, you should not give an antitussive (cough suppressant) to your dog if he is coughing as the coughing is his body's way of getting disease out of his lungs. If your dog is coughing, you should take him to the veterinarian for evaluation - there are several common causes of coughing in dogs (most notably "kennel cough") that need to be treated with antibiotics.
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.
