Default Is this teething or could it be something else?

Okay so I am probably just a paranoid new mummy hear, but want to hear from those with a bit more experience.

DS has been showing classic teething signs all week, red cheeks on and off, pulling at hair, sucking hands constantly (mind you this is pretty normal at the moment), dribbling a bit, smelly poo and maybe an extra one or two each day (mind you it's hard to tell because he still has quite a few each day)...

Anyway, today he has been incredibly grizzly which is unlike him. He has a mild fever, 37 degrees and isn't sleeping for more than half an hour. He's still sucking his hands and has a bit of dribble, but the red cheeks are gone... I think it might be the teething but with no red cheeks I'm wondering if maybe he could have a little bug... I haven't given any panadol yet, I thought I wait until we put him down for the night and see how we go... Any advice, thoughts or ideas anyone has would be very much appreciated... TIA
