What Causes Congested And Sticking Out Tongue In Babies?

My 8 month old is obviously unwell. He is normally a happy baby but for the last 2 days, he has been off food even milk has a high temperature is congested and sticking his Tongue out. He is teething at the moment so has red cheeks and is drooling. I have given him infant paracetamol and ibuprofen but he refuses any gels. It is as though his Tongue is sore. Is this related to his teething or is there something more serious wrong. He has not slept well and is very restless. Can you help?
