The antibiotic is a preventative against pneumonia developing. It will not "cure" kennel cough. Sometimes a vet may prescribe a cough suppressant, but most often it's allowed to run it's course. Taking him into a steam filled bathroom or using a warm mist vaporizer with vick's will help a great deal. A teaspoon of honey soothes an irritate throat.
As a side note - bordatello is largely ineffective as a preventative.
