Bad cough

Any good remedies for kid's under 18 months? I see even Vicks is indicated for kid's 2 and up. Baby Vicks rub isn't doing anything. We can't put the humidifier on b/c the barometer in DD's room reads 60% humidity so we don't want to add mold to her issues. She's teething real bad and very gooey in the nose, but now it's dripped into her throat/chest and she's coughing and choking in her sleep. We are doing the nebulizer every 4 hours, but I feel so bad she's having such a hard time. I gave her albuterol and pulmocort in the nebulize at 6pm, DH just gave her albuterol only. She started wheezing a little and as much as I don't agree with it - my pediatrian's seem to recommend the nebulizer when they cough independent of wheezing.

Anyway, suggestions would be appreciated.
