6 month old wakes up crying every 2.5 hours

Kinsley had her 6 month check up and shots Monday. The doctor also check her ears because she’d had an ear infection 2 weeks prior and he said they looked good. He did say he thinks she’s teething and yesterday my mom and I could feel a more defined ridge under the gums.

Anyhow, Suddenly the last two nights she’s waking up every 2.5 hours and is inconsolable. And when I hold her up she only wants to be held upright or she has a fit. She seems like she’s not feeling well, but the problem is she also does that if she knows we are trying to rock her to sleep. Which makes it difficult to distinguish what’s actually going on.

Just wondering if anyone else is going through this or has any insight. These wake ups are brutal and tonight my mom got up with me and was going to take her so I could rest, but Kinsley only wanted me.

Could this just be teeth? Could teething be causing some sort of drainage in her head causing pressure? Could it be her tummy? I’m at a loss.
