Hey Adams, I think Gregg gave you very good advice about substrate selection, its true that gabboons are not as easy as people think to keep well in captivity.
For the meds, I can give you some ideas but not the exact name and dosage as this should be the job of the vet. A few months I saved a 4.5 ft female who had symptoms like yours. She had a severe chest infection; she got IM antibiotics every 72hrs, IM decongestants everyday & also tracheal wash everyday as the secretions was so thick that she cannot expectorate from her lungs; but this is a very dangerous technique. In addition, nebulizer therapy also has some effect couple times a day. After intensive treatment and close monitor for 10 days, no expectorate and blood anymore and she started eating after 2 weeks. Thats about it, good luck to your gaboon.
