Food Strike?

We were doing great with table foods. Loved scrambled eggs, pasta, grilled cheese, yogurt, etc. We never had any issues with pickiness, DD would eat pretty much whatever we gave her. About two weeks ago, she stopped really eating food. The only thing she'll eat more than 3 morsels of is pineapple, pears and bananas (she used to hate bananas). I took her to pedi, he said her ear didnt look quite right so he gave her an antibiotic (just finished it sat). After a few days she seemed to eat a little bettter, but now she back to not eating again. Also, she just had top teeth poke through today, so maybe thats her problem.

So what do you ladies think is her problem? Could it be as simple as her teeth are bothering her? Should I take her back to the dr? Or wait it out til next week when we have her 1yr well visit?

    Does she have a fever?  If she's acting normally, I would chalk it up to teeth.  Shawn was the same way about 2 months ago - he was eating everything and then all of a sudden he didn't want much to do with food.  Lo and behold...then there were teeth.  It took a good few weeks for his appetite to really come back and I'm sure that's only because he got 6 teeth all one after another.  

    I just made sure to keep offering him a lot of variety of foods and a lot of fluids, and now he seems to be back to normal.

    No fever, aside from the one day when the food strike started.
