23 months and 2nd molars

My son who will be 2 in March has seemed to be teething constantly recently. All this teeth bar the last 4 molars were through by the time he was 16 months old. I realise how lucky we were with this as he always had at least 2 come at a time and they came out thick and fast.

The past month he seems to have been teething none stop, chewing hands, dribbling loads and just general crappines that comes with teething. He's got his last 4 to come and his gums feel a bit rougher on the bottom where they'd come through and don't know if this is a sign? Is this a normal thing and will it go on for another 6 months til they would usually come. I know every kid is different but the poor little sod is chewing his hands off and shoving them right back.

Just want to add as seen on old related threads
He has nothing wrong with his ears, he's got 'asthma' so we've had regular doctors trips who have cleared all his sinuses and his ears are perfectly fine.
Dentist said his teeth are also absolutely fine and no problems in that aspect.
We've got all the granuals and remedies.

I'm not after advice on how to relieve it for him, just if this is normal for them to 'teeth' for so long with the last ones.

I just wanna add, it's probably been more than a month. Definitely started around new year.

My boys been the same the last few weeks. Cough waking him up, crying at night and hard to settle, very clingy and whiny all day for me. Not his usual self. On/ off his food.
ive Taken him to drs and of course the day I took him he was back to his usual happy self! But then the day after he wasn’t good again.
They looked in his ears and said there was too much wax to see if there was any infection but didn’t think there was one.
I’m pulling my hair out, I just don’t want him to be poorly and be ignoring it but then I’m wondering if it could be his last molars?? He’s also 2 next month. He won’t let me look in his mouth though so can’t see properly to know!
keep me updated on your little one and if you see any signs. Everyone seems to say they come through around 2.5
