I have another question....

For the past couple days, Elliott has been gagging on what seems like mucous in the back of his throat, and has had a slight cough, that sounds very loose.  It gets worse after he eats, and at night.  Last night after his 4am feeding, he coughed a bit and then threw up, I think it was more than just spit up.  My doctor told me at about 6 weeks their adenoids swell and they get a bit congested and have a stuffy nose.  How can I tell the difference??  Could this be a cold(that I should have checked out) or is it leftover mucous from before birth that has to work it's way out?
