Help!! 7 month old won’t sleep!!

For about 2 weeks, my son was sleeping through the night. Then he got a cold which led to an ear infection and understandably was up more frequently. Well he’s been recovered from those but all of a sudden he will. not. stay. asleep. for longer than an hour or so. It’s even worse than when he was sick. He wakes up and cries and needs to be fed or rocked to calm down enough to go back to sleep. Feeding and rocking haven’t really been sleep crutches in the past but I’m afraid that’s what they’ll become if this keeps up!! Anyone else going through this?? If so, what is happening???
