She started coughing a little bit yesterday and I called the pedi. There was no fever or congestion and the doc said to try the humidifier and saline drops -- could be dryness from the heat. We did that, but she has been coughing more overnight and it sounds a bit mucousy now too. I'm so worried... called the on call doc who told me she needs to be seen...no kidding. Office opens at 9 so just holding her and letting her sleep on me till then. Could really use some T&Ps it's nothing serious....she's so little - just 3 weeks yesterday. 
*UPDATE*
We are in the ER now waiting for RSV/flu and CBC count test results. Went to the pedi and her throat and one ear is red...she is also a little congested but her chest is clear, thankfully. Since she is so young the doc sent us to the hospital for testing. They think she has an ear infection so if those results come back she will likely have to have antibiotics. It makes me so sad to see her poked and prodded but I am glad she is getting treated and we are ruling things out. Thanks so much for the good thoughts and wishes! Will let you know how the test results come back.
**Update 2** Her tests came back and confirmed RSV, plus an ear infection so she has to take 10 days of amoxicillin. My poor baby. :'(
