Teething signs?

My baby is 4 months old, she has been grouchy for the past few days. She did have her last lot of immunisations on Friday so I expected this on Friday and Saturday. Given experience with the previous two lots she was very sleepy and had a fever for the first lot. She has been fine physically this time but has been grizzly since.

Yesterday and this morning she has been crying (more of a whinge cry than a proper hearty cry)
She normally never cries unless really hungry so it’s very unusual to me. I’m not sure what to do, people keep telling me she’s teething, but I don’t want to give her calpol etc if she’s not actually in pain! How on earth can I tell? She has no temp, no physical symptoms of anything so I’m not worried following the jabs. I just want to help her but I don’t know what to do for the best.

My HV told me to contact GP if I was worried, I’m not worried that’s she’s ill. So I don’t want to waste their time if she is just teething. Hence asking strangers on the internet

Is she chewing on lots of things? Give her a teething toy, ones that go in the fridge are good. See if shes keen to nibble on that. If so I'd give her a bit of paracetamol and see if that makes any difference.
Could she be overtired?

If I give her a teething toy, she gives it a good chomp for about a minute then looses interest.

She’s sleeping fine and napping fine. I wonder maybe she’s having a growth spurt so needs food little and often
