Cry Worried about my pup. Any advise?

I just bought my baby Reeses last Saturday. As soon as I got him home, he started coughing. I took Reeses to the vet the next morning who said that it was Kennel Cough and prescribed Clavamox and a cough suppressant. I toughed it out until Friday and took him back because the coughing didn't seem to be getting better and I freak out about everything anyway. So after an Xray, the vet says that Reeses has pneumonia. She wanted me to leave him overnight, but I just couldn't do it. She gave him a shot of Baytril as well as a prescription and another for hydrocodone cough suppressant. It seems that his cough is getting a little better....as well as productive vs. in the beginning where he was getting anything up. He never stopped eating....so I guess I didn't let it get too bad. I am just worried. I have him in a room with a humidifier and I do the coupage atleast three times a day to try to loose things up. Anyone had an experience with this here? I am going to take him back again this weekend....just worried that there could be more that I could be doing. Anyone know how long it takes for things to clear up completely?????
