Infant viral infection

[roke]

My little girl has started freaking out for no reason at all when eating.  She will eat for about 3 to 5 minutes and then quit.  It almost looks like she has some gas issues, but it's not gas.  She has not been sleeping well or eating well.  As far as I can tell she doesn't have a fever (that I can feel).  She was not like this a few days ago.  We suspect that she has a viral infection (just by what she has been doing).   Has anybody ever dealt with this?

I want to add to Riot-Queen's response by asking if her nose is stuffy? Babies who have stuffy noses can't breathe and then can't eat. If her nose is stuffy, use saline drops and suction her before mealtime! She'll be angry about it but then she'll at least be able to eat.

Take her to the doc.
She could have an ear infection.
