So sorry to hear Sazzy is having issues with the kennel cough. Buster had it bad when he was a puppy and we went through multiple antibiotics as well. When he would get the coughing fits I would go into the bathroom and turn the shower on and let the steam build up and then bring him in for a bit, it seemed to help ease the coughs. The oral antibiotics did not seem to do the trick though and Buster was verging on pneumonia he ended up staying overnight at a vet hospital for 3 days on IV antibiotics which finally knocked it out. It took about 3 months to get rid of the cough.
Is the aspiration pneumonia as a result of the liquid from the tracheal wash?
Sending prayers for Sazzy's complete recovery and hugs to kaynka.
Best wishes.
