Sleep regression or something wrong?

My 4 month old exclusively BF boy at a few days past 4 months went from sleeping 8-9 with one feed around 4, and a few dummy replacements to literally overnight not going down. He used to wake and usually be able to settle himself back to sleep 80% of the time. We co slept for the first month and then he moved into the beside me crib with minimal issues.
As of the last 3 nights he is now waking up literally every 20 minutes, sometimes less. And waking up screaming and inconsolable. On occasion he’s made himself sick through the crying. Cuddling him doesn’t work straight away, bringing him into our bed makes no difference. He’s had calpol on 2 of the 3 nights and that’s made no difference.
Dad currently has him out walking around the house and he’s still crying. we’ve tried driving him in the car, the pram etc.
Is this a normal sleep regression or should I be concerned?

It’s only been 3 nights, it could be anything or nothing. Could be teething, upset stomach, illness, or sleep regression. If you’re still worried and can’t settle him, and I mean can’t settle him with him crying inconsolably then contact a health / medical professional for advice.

Your baby could be hungry.

My DD is now 7 months, same as yours perfect sleep up until 4 months and my goodness it's been a whirlwind, will sleep only in our arms not in the cot, it's hard we had to resort to allowing her to sleeping in her buggy but now can't get her out of it

4 month sleep regression. I promise it will pass, it's just really shit until it does🫣
