Teething forever, terrible eating

My son is almost 16m, he's been teething solidly since 6m but he seems to get his teeth 4 at a time. He's just cut his first molars all four at once and it was hell for all of us for about 2m while they all came through.

Whilst this was happening his diet slipped basically into survival mode - letting him have the foods we'd know he'd eat - pear, grapes, yoghurt, baby soft crisps and randomly instant noodles were his main staples. He'll eat baby fruit pouches too. And MILK, he is still having loads of milk - 6oz around 4 times a day.

Well now he's cutting all four canines and so far he is not even touching his safe foods. He just wants milk. We are making sure he is medicated but already he is barely sleeping, barely eating and a lot of crying.

I'm not sure what I am after, perhaps reassurance that he will go back to eating real food? Worried about the lack of protein, fat and carbs in his diet.
