Question
My dog has been gaughing really bad for two days already . should I take him to the vet asap or should I wait a couple of days to see if he gets better.

Answer
Don't Panic!  Like a common cold, canine cough (dog flu) will run it's course.
Robitussin-DM cough suppressant (child dosage) will reduce coughing.
Although the coughing is annoying, it usually does not develop into anything more serious.

However, if the cough persists or worsens, you should contact your Veterinarian.  

BEST of luck with this!!!
