14 month old not eating

My child has had a fever since waking up sunday morning, it goes away with Tylenol or Motrin. She is getting all of her molars right now and I am sure this is why she has been so off. But I am beginnig to worry because she hasn't eaten anything since saturday. Even then it wasn't much. I am starting to get very worried and frustrated that she won't eat. I took her to the doctor and she has a bit of a congested ear, but she said it's all more than likely due to teething. She drinks a bit here and there, but mostly just wants me to hold her while she rests. This is going on her third day not doing anything. She also has really bad gas caused from teething, I've tried everything to make it go away. But I just don't know what to do. Should I take her back to the doctor because of lack of eating? I'm just so worried. How long can a baby go without eating? I have been trying to give her pedialite (spelling?) but she will only take a sip here and there. Can teething really be this bad for them?
