Almost-1-year old grabbing, covering & pulling at ears?

Question

My little girl has been walking around pulling, covering and/or grabbing at her ears a lot. She isn’t unusually fussy, and has had no sign of fever. She eats & sleeps regularly as well. But *something* must be bothering her. 
Does this sound like it could be an ear infection, a teething thing, or something else? Please help. Im starting to get concerned.

Answer

Take her in to her pediatrician. It could be things we can’t see as parents and there’s no point of them suffering if we’re able to find out.

Answer

Try ibuprofen see if she stops doing it as often could be teething related. It won't hurt to have her checked out either.

Answer

When they are teething the pain raidiates through their jaw. Maybe give Tylenol if it is bothering her. If you are really concerned give the pediatrician a call.
