Are these signs of teething?

My 9 and a half month old baby girl doesn't have teeth yet. She's throwing up at least once a day (at any given time, but mostly right after a meal, and it's not just the spit up kind, it's the gagging until it's all out of her stomach kind). She's also tugging on her ears a lot, but not in discomfort (or so it seems).

I must add she was small at birth (6 lb 5.5 oz, 19.3 in) and now weighs 14 lb 15 oz, and her height is 27.2 in)

Update:

I HAVE taken her to the pediatrician and he says her ears are fine. And i told him about the vomiting (which isn't a stomach flu, because she only throws up ONCE a day, but the rest of the day she eats fine, and holds everything in). I'm also kinda worried the throwing up thing is Intestinal Obstruction :( but to that the doctor also says no.

    I know that pulling on the ear is a sign of teething, I'm not sure about throwing up though.

    My niece pulled on her ear all the time when she was teething. Baby Orajel will work wonders, she might fight you on it while putting it on but she will calm down after she realizes how much better she feels =)

    Any time a infant or infant is pulling at her ear that's a demonstration of an ear an infection. Has she been waking up crying at night? if so, i might guess funds she has an infection. there's a debate approximately whether or not teething reasons loose stools, fever...yet i be conscious of that my son spiked fevers, and had loose stools formerly he cut back tooth, rather those first few, so it easily relies upon on your guy or woman newborn and you be conscious of her maximum suitable. The rosey cheecks might desire to be appropriate or might desire to in easy terms be a symptom of wintertime dry warmth, chilly air...attempt some balm/lotion...i might definatly get her ears checked, nevertheless.

    Vomiting isn't a sign of teething. Especially if she's throwing up curdled milk or food matter. It sounds more like a stomach virus. I would take her to pediatrician for a complete evaluation.

    throwing up is not some times diahreia but not throwing up

    my son ran a fever

    pulled on his ears

    and had diahreia

    when I took him to the doctor they said those were all very normal signs of teething. He was around 5 months old

    Sounds to me that she may have some stomach flu and with her pulling at her ears maybe a bit of ear infection...I would have her pediatrition check her out

    She may have an ear infection. Excess mucus can cause vomiting. She needs to see the doctor.
