Yes Maybe: Teething involves the rupturing of the gum (Mucosa) with associated inflammatory reaction. Your daughter is at the age when this occurs for the eruption of the first adult (secondary) molars and the front teeth also. While a fever is an unusual symptom it is not unknown. If this continues much longer have her checked.

Fever: Most probably due to viral infection, not teething. As your daughter is 6, she should have been under a General Dentists's or a specialist Pedodontist's care since Age 1, and a General Physician's or specialist Pediatrician's care since birth. Both should be consulted.

Symptoms: I agree that this could be related to a viral infection. Any COVID 19 contacts? Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: temp of at least 99.6 F (37.5 C), Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell.
