Can someone give me advice on canine cough?

Eight month old UnWiseDog has canine cough. She's vaccinated against two of the most dangerous kinds, however there are lots of other strains which can be a real problem in our area (Western Australia). Cough came on yesterday, got worse during the night and we took her to the vet this morning. She's on antibiotics, anti-inflamatories and has a cough linctus to soothe her throat.
Is there anything else I can do to help? She normally sleeps downstairs but do you think it might be a good idea to have her in my room for a while just in case she gets worse during the night?

I'm really worried about her - she's our first dog and has morphed into fourth child! She's quite listless, not at all like her bouncy lab self.

Take her into a steamy bathroom can also help the cough, but mostly you are going to need to ride it our.
