Q: my 9 month old is teething but has bad cough and blocked nose for over a week, no sign of infection, what else could it be? wont eat my food either, only purity

Basics: I consider a bad cough &amp; nasal obstruction as a sign of a mild upper respiratory tract infection. They may or may not have fever with these. A blocked nose interferes with feeding. I would work to clear the nose with nasal saline wash and remove airborne irritants like dust/smoke/fumes from the environment.
