My little one was fussy, but didn't really show any other symptoms. I have three children and they have all had various teething symptoms, fussy, temperature, red cheeks, drooling, chewing on everything etc. I have never had any problems with teething and feeding.
If one of them was fussy when I put them to the breast I would stop and calm them down and try again in a little while. If any of my babies fussed, the breast was always the first option if that didn't work then I would try other things to calm them.
I think you may need to consider your doctor. I did with my third because I was also given advice to formula feed. As it turned out if I had made the switch it would have been the worst decision I could have made for his condition. As I said before contact La Leche League, they will support you through this.
