It is impossible to: determine what is wrong for your infant without being able to examine him. You need to take him to be evaluated by a health care provider as soon as possible. Do not delay!

Mgt.: His symptoms may be related to teething, but I would recommend that you see your PCP. A dose of infant Tylenol may relieve teething pain.
