I think it sounds more like teething to me bc she won't let you in her mouth. But...LO has had both at the same time before as well!

It sounds more like teething to me, but I say that because when E had an ear infection she was SCREAMING all.night.long. There was no mistaking something was really off, in a big way. Not fussy, but straight up in-pain screams every single time she woke up, which was every hour (or less).

I'd call back and ask if you can bring her in for them to check.

@MamaMoose: Agreed...doesn't hurt to take her in. LO will pull at his ear when he's teething and I think it's an ear infection when it's just the pain traveling to his ear. I'm in the better to be safe than sorry camp...especially with the congestion.

She could easily have both. I would take her in just to see.

DS always has congestion and a runny nose when he has an ear infection(he's had 5 that we know of). Honestly, it sounds like it could be both...and it goes suck, it's happened to us.

I'd take her to get checked for an ear infection just in case.

I've heard that teething can lead to ear infections.
