my 5 month old girl has a slight fever and has a small white lump on her gum which looks quite inflamed. She has been sleeping a lot the last week, and the last 2 days has been very grumpy. could this be teething? Also, how high do temperatures tend to get when a babys teething?

Welcome to the wonderful world of a teething baby!
Well, the temp should never go above 102. If this happens, contact the pedi just to be safe.
Both of my daughters started teething at about 5 months old. My 20 month old now has all of her teeth...it can be a difficult stage, but I found a LIFE SAVER! They are called Hylands Homeopathic Teething Tablets. They are 100% all natural and dissolve INSTANTLY on baby's tounge. A bottle of 125 is only about $5.00. Look it up online - they're GREAT!
We seriously lost zero sleep through the teething period by using these...good luck to you!

Cheryl is correct! Our peditrician recommended the Teething Tablets and they work like magic. Our daughter opens her mouth when I rattle the bottle! Try giving her the Teething Tablets and a cold teething ring. If that doesnt stop her being fussy then give Tylenol.
I would check with your Dr about any fever though.
