In a dog Lexi's age, I'd be concerned that her cough could be due to something serious like heart disease. Heart disease is common in older dogs. I'd have her seen by a vet in the morning. The vet can diagnose what is causing the coughing. If she does have heart disease, medication can prescribed to help with her symptoms but it cannot be cured.
