Teething or sick?

I'm trying to guess what is going on with lo right now. He had been pulling on his ear a few weeks ago and we thought he was just teething. Turned out he had a minor ear infection. Got meds and he stopped after a few days.
At the very end of the meds (10days) he started pulling again and got very fussy. I took him to the Pediatrition again and she said his ears were ok and it looked like the infection was gone but to bring him back if I was still concerned in a few days.
He is still grabbing his ear, very fussy (fighting sleep, getting startled easily, crying randomly), he chews on everything (but has done this for weeks) and for the past 4 days has been getting up every 2-3 hours at night (where I used to get at least 1 4-5 hour stretch a night).
I am wondering if maybe this is all teething and not his ear any more, or maybe it's always been teething and that's what caused the ear infection (from fluid/sinus drainage).
Does this sound like teething to anyone or still the ear? What have been some of your lo's symptoms while teething?
