yes I agree, there is something up if he is doing it at home. It is annoying when doctors don't actually look into something that could possibly be wrong and just blame it on teething. What about suggesting they take him to the chiropractor? A friend of mine had a lot of issues with her child and taking her child to the chiropractor cleared up whatever was bothering her. How is his bowel movements? normal? Is there a certain food that sets him off? Possibly have acid reflux? I have heard of children with that issue too. If I was the parents I would be getting a second opinion. There should be no reason this poor boy is always so cranky.
