You need to take your pup to the vet ASAP! Never give human meds to a dog unless prescribed by your vet. Your pup is also too young to be separated from the mother. Is it still with mom?

I agree with Laura. Get your puppy in to the vet as soon as possible. At that young age, something that appears minor can cause them to go down hill rapidly.

What do you mean by colds? Goopy eyes? Raspy breathing? I fostered a litter of puppies that began showing distress at 3-4 weeks. The mother and all 8 puppies had kennel cough. This is extremely rough on a little one and needs to be addressed quickly.
