Greg has a cold, any extra advice? :-( (staffordshire bull terrier)

Been to the vets this evening as Greg has had a cough and seemed to be having trouble breathing every now and then. His glands in his neck were swollen and he has a bit of a temperature, so the vet thinks he has cold, he has sneezed quite alot and has been a bit more tired. Poor boy had and anti-inflammatory injection and a course of anti-biotics. (my purse is £54 lighter to show for it!)
Any other suggestions for making him feel better?
or has anyone had this sort of thing with there dog?
I didnt realise dogs got colds!

Poor Greg
A spoonful of honey might help sooth his throat if he's coughing.Hope he's better soon.
Sending hugs xx
