Default Second Opinion Cough/Sneeze

I bought my lil guy from a pet store..He is 7 months old and only 3 pounds...He was coughing for a while so I took him to the vet...The vet had x-ray done to check for Collapsing trachea...She did not see anything wrong exept she said his heart was in 4 [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]bones[/COLOR][/COLOR] and its suppose 2 be in 3...So she gave him a shot of [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]antibiotics[/COLOR][/COLOR] and gave me medication for 14 days..I went 7 days later for a follow up and he is doing better at the time..He still [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]cough[/COLOR][/COLOR], and sneezes(reverse sneezing), but not as often as before...so she gave him another shot of antibiotics..He is coughing less than when i Just got him, but the reverse sneezing he still does it(not as much as before)

She said bring him back in 7 days to see if it goes away....So I took him in saturday for the next follow up. .....She said she cant do anything else....Vet refer me to a specialist...she said it could be reverse sneezing....From the videos I see in youtube thats what it looks like.....She said the entire proceduce to check that up is about 1000 bux...thats alot....can he die from reverse sneezing if not treated in time.....is reverse sneezing have to do anything with congenital or [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]genetic[/COLOR][/COLOR] defects...Please help me out...thanks...Also since that vet said she could not do anything else I am going to get a second opinion from another vet before I take him to a specialist...Do I tell the other vet that I want a second opinion or I dont say what the other vet told me....
