Default Teething?? or sick????

Ok, so I think Tiffany is teething. (I-teeth----canines----whatever you want to call the pointy ones that come in in front of the molars)
She has been grumpy off and on for 3 weeks. She chews on her fingers, putting her fingers in between where her teeth and her molars are so they are on the gums. She has restless sleep unless I give her Tylenol. (which isn't too often, cuz I hate too unless absolutely nessecary.) She has had a low low low fever off and on for 3 weeks. 99.5 to 100.5. She might have it a day or 2 and then nothing for a day or two. About 2 weeks ago she had a runny nose for 1 day. And she seems tired more than usual but, she isn't sleeping as well, so I atribute the being tired to that. She also had one horribly red bum for a day and a half. It was soooooooo red, it almost looked like it had welts on it. But it would clear up, and then if she pooped it was back. (and I changed her right away)
Now that is all cleared up. Dh had a HORRIBLE cold, aches and soar throat about a week and a half ago, and I got the stuffy nose.....so far T hasn't gotten it, and we are hoping that we dodged that bullet.
Do you think this sounds like normal teething symptoms? Am I right for not taking her to the Dr.? I tend to be too laid back, so I just wanted to get other peoples opinions!!! Thank you so much!!!!
