I would keep him a little warmer over nite like around 80 so he can keep his immune system up - are you using any colored bulbs?

What did the vet prescribe?
Based on your first thread, your dragon just looked very undernourished. Was a fecal test performed at all?
The liquid medicine, I assume this was administered orally? If done wrong there is a good chance that the medicine was actually aspirated and that caused a buildup in the lungs, which is why your dragon would be coughing.

If so you need to get this bulb a Reptisun 10.0 T 8 take the plastic cover off the fixture so the bulb is exposed- it needs to be inside the tank approx 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor--

Sorry your dragon is having trouble!
Why did the vet prescribe Baytril?
Can you get the strength of the solution of the Baytril, his dose & your dragon's bodyweight &
I can double check the dose for you. Also, how much Gluconate is being given & what is the
strength & dose of that also?
Since he is coughing, he probably aspirated fluids or food which can cause pneumonia or other
respiratory issues. Try placing him on a slight decline overnight, to allow his lungs to drain out
any fluids if needed. You are using a stick on thermometer?
For now, I would cease giving food & fluid with the syringe until you can get him stabilized.
Let us know how he is doing.
