"teething rash": A teething rash is a common 'side effect'. However, it is good idea to see a pediatrician to rule out strep throat, seasonal flu or allergy. Take care.

Fever/rash: Not uncommon, but needs to be watched. If fever rises to >38C notify Pediatrician. Keep child hydrated. As she has both fever and rash, notify Pediatrician. As she is erupting teeth, she should be scheduled w Dentist (No, it's not too early) no later than 1st b'day. Recommend your seek out children's dental specialist, a Pedodontist.

Pediatric visit : Please send a photo of the rash to your pediatrician, Many rashes are associated with viral illnesses. Provide fluids,monitor temperature and please follow up. Her teething is probably unrelated to the fever and rash.
