This is normal at this age. Teeth usually erupt at 6 months or later. But all these symptoms can be present at 4 months also. If he is not crying a lot, nothing needs to be done. Please consult directly for better guidance.

You need not to worry. Baby’s lower central teeth usually erupt by 6 months. But teething can occur before that at 4months also.
