Brief Answer:
Teething problem, give rusk or teether.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in.

Firstly I would tell you that molars erupt at at age of 6 years, so its too early for molars to erupt. Infact front teeth also erupt at an age of 6-7 yrs. All his symptoms suggest teething problem. Its better you wait for 10-15 days & if problem still persists consult pediatrician.

Meanwhile give him sooji rusk or teether. So that he gets relieved from irritation.
Its normal for child of this age group.
Need not worry.

Hope I answered your query

Wishing you good health

Hi

Sorry I misinterpreted your question.
Your concern is right its deciduous molar erupting.Give teether to him & maintain proper hygiene.
During this time avoid giving him sticky sweet food. Also rinse his mouth after every meal.
For pain relive you may give ibugesic syrup 5ml 2 times a day.
Need not worry.
