Teething or something else?

Hello all,

I'm a new member with a baby that seems to have a set of symptoms that point to more than one condition. As much advice and experience you can all share would be very much appreciated. She is ten months and has been diagnosed with cows milk and soya allergy and because she's still BF I avoid those strictly.

For the past week 8 or 9 days she seems to have a constant hot forehead. I think she has a headache because shes always scratching her head, eyes, ears and back of neck. She is also always drooling and so scratches her chin and neck. A few days ago her veins on her forehead and temple area started showing dark so I took her to the doctor and he said it was teething, no infection. She is a happy baby half the day and other half she's tearing at her head. She gets hot and sweaty when she's sleeping even uncovered and when she wakes up shes scratching for a good while until she's fully awake. Could this all really be teething? I've read online that headaches can be from food allergy so thinking maybe she has a new one. She's also been constipated so could that also be related. So many question sorry confused. I will reply when I can, as much as I want to be glued to my phone to read every reply that comes, I need three hands to do so grin

Nb I did also research hayfever because she scratches her eyes but her eyes aren't watery at all so I ruled that out

Oh I forgot to add that she already has six teeth and each one was a nightmare but never had this 'headache' problem before
