Any ideas what's wrong with DS 17 months?

I don't know what's up with him. He's super whingy, he wakes up constantly during the night, doesn't want finger foods but will eat when I feed him. Thought its his teeth but I had a look and I can't see anything painful/swollen.

He had a fever on Fri, took him to the Dr. She couldn't see anything wrong. Suggested teething. I'm really over it!!

Could be a growth spurt, or maybe teeth. His 2 year molars could be moving, even if you can't see it, they still hurt when moving up the gums.

My kids have always been pretty shocking between 14 and 20 months for some reason! Big hugs.

Did the GP check his ears? Ears can play havoc and tricks with GP's.
The other thing to consider is investing in an Amber teething necklace if he doesn't already have one.

She checked his ears, throat etc.

Just looked at The Wonder Weeks and his 'symptoms' fit Leap 10 to a T.

Cries more often and is more often cranky or fretful
Is cheerful one moment and cries the next
Wants to be entertained, or does so more often
Clings to your clothes or wants to be closer to you
Acts unusually sweet
Is mischievous
Throws temper tantrums, or throws them more often
Is jealous
Is more obviously shy with strangers
Wants physical contact to be tighter or closer
Sleeps poorly (make sure her sleeping problems are for real and not her trick to get her way)
Has nightmares, or has them more often
Loses appetite (make sure her eating problems are for real and not her trick to get her way)
Sometimes just sits there, quietly daydreaming
Reaches for a cuddly toy, or does so more often

Mmmm.... Wondering if it can be a leap?

If it helps my dd did the same at that age....drove me insane but like all the other wonder weeks it passed and my gorgeous girl eventually came back!!
