Fever. Teething. On Tylenol. Why Is Baby Irritated?

My daughter is 1 1/2 yrs old and has been running a fever for 3 days. Although she is teething w/ molars right now, her fever gets too high without Tylenol. We've taken her to walk in clinic, emerg.. The doctors say there's nothing but probably teething. She has no other real symptoms, she's eating great, drinking lots of fluids. Urinating is good, some constipation which we find can be random. Happy as usual but a little irritated. Also moaning in her sleep. Just can't understand why the fever won't go away without using baths and cloths and Tylenol as directed... Any ideas?
