Embarassed Upper Respiratory Infection

I have had my babies for almost a month now. When I brought them home, they began coughing. I took them to the vet and he diagnosed them with an upper respiratory infection. They were placed on Amoxicillin .05 on the dropper twice a day. Ten days later they were still coughing and so the vet gave them another round of antibiotics. I am going to take them back as soon as the antibiotic is gone, but they are still continuing to cough.

The breeder told me that there had been an episode of kennel cough that had affected some of the puppies. My question is will they ever get over this cough. I am afraid they will injure their tracheas if they continue coughing. Has anyone experienced this with their babies? Hoping for a response.

Thanks,

Lynda
