Default ear infection?

I should be the pro at ear infections because Jaecy had them a lot when she was in infant (esp in the summer with being in the pool everyday)

For the past week or 2, Kaydee has had a bad bad cough when shes sleeping, or going to sleep. She doesnt neccessarily have to be laying flat either. She coughs in her swing, in her crib, in her chair, anywhere she is asleep. She had a runny nose for about a week, but now that seemed to clear up. We blamed it on teething, although you still cant see or feel anything in her gums. I started to think she had allergies.

Last night she woke up quite a few times screaming bloody murder! She was coughing so bad she could barely catch her breath. I also noticed she had a hold on her right hear and was rubbing it, rubbing her blankie on it, and grabbing at it. Its hard to tell with her because she ALWAYS grabs her ear as a comfort thing when shes tired.

She has no fever, but when I touch that ear she flinches so bad and starts whinning. I touch the other ear and shes fine. She has an ear infection, right? Im just not sure because with Jae's ears she ALWAYS had a fever to go along with it. Im calling the Dr in a few mins to bring her in this afternoon, but I was just curious what you guys think
