Mom help please!

My baby is five month and a couple weeks old and I’m not sure if he has teething pain or an ear infection. I’m freaking out because his ped is closed on the weekend and we can’t afford er or urgent care at the moment. This is what I’m noticing:

He’s eating very well rarely fusses about it

Fingers/hands constantly in his mouth

Small white dot on gums, I’m thinking Epstein pearl it’s on the right side

No fever

Fussy

Wants physical contact a lot

He screamed last night like he was in pain and then cried all night until we picked him up

Only slept when we were holding him

Yesterday and today I noticed

He would rub his cheek and ear on the right side

ALSO-just happened as I was writing this.... he put his pacifier all the way in his mouth backwards so only the nipple was poking out!

Should I just throw all the pacifier away. He sleeps with them at night and I don’t want him to do that in the middle of the night or ever again. I have PPA and I’m really freaking out.
