Rubbing ear

Rebecca

So over the past few days my LO seems to be irritated by his ear he keeps rubbing it especially when he’s falling asleep. I’ve read that this can be a teething sign and I do believe that he could be teething as he has seemed a lot more irritated lately and he still doesn’t have any top teeth. He hasn’t had a cold or fever lately so I’m doubting it’s an infection but worry that it could be something else other than teething. Has anyone experienced something similar?
