Baby has a cold, or what's going on?

DD for the past few days has been coughing, but at random times. It's not consisant and on going, it's just a cough here and there, especially when she gets PO'd and starts to cry. She's been having more frequent...well...boogers in her nose, but her nose isn't running and she's not running a fever. She's lately been trying to "eat" her hands. She's super fussy and is spitting up more along with not really drooling, but she's got bubbles on her mouth pretty much all the time. I'm confused.

Three things come to mind: Colic, a Cold or Teething?? I'm so lost here, help? Thanks!

  • Doesn't sound like a cold...could be teething. J cut his bottom 2 teeth at 3.5 months!

  • My baby had been chewing on her hands and her blankets. She also has bubbles on her mouth. I think it is just developmental.

  • i don't think it's a cold.  maybe some early teething.  is she fussy right after eating?  if so then I might suspect a little bit of reflux or something like that. 

     

    the coughing - probably 'normal' unless it's consistent plus the other signs of a cold - P get so worked up sometimes I think he accidentally swallows a bit of his own spit and coughs...  esp if she is doing it when crying.
