Making self gag

I make my daughter's food but and she has also been eating finger foods such as cheese, fruit, puffs, yogurt bites, etc.  She's always been a great eater.  Loves to eat, loves to feed herself.  THe last 2 days it's like she's a different kid!  She gags at almost anything that I give her.  She'll immediately put her fingers in her mouth (how she soothes herself) and then throws up.  Last night, she only ate  a few bites of her dinner, 1/2 her bottle and no more. I thought for sure she'd be up in the middle of the night wanting a bottle but she slept all night.  She ate a full bottle this morning but refused breakfast but a few bites (cantaloupe and oatmeal) and then for lunch we tried on 3 occasions to get her to eat.  She ate her cheese fine but would cry any time the spoon came near her mouth, she'd gag and threw up at least 3 times.  Is this just a phase?  Does she just want to feed herself?  Any insight would be great! thanks!

    I guess this is possible. She's just getting over a really bad cold where she was coughing a ton.  I guess she could either be getting something else or still have a lingering sore throat.

    Our LO just started doing this too!  DD is 10 months old and a great eater. We make most of her food. But about a month and a half ago, she started shoving her fingers in her mouth and gaggin herself. We thought it was related to her teething gel
