If all else is normal, meaning that your baby is not sick or suffering from gas or acid reflux, and he's not overbundled (too many clothes layers or covers), then he may be trying to express his frustration with something, like if the room is too hot, or there's too much noise around.
It's true that temper tantrums don't usually start until a baby is 12 to 18 months old, but your baby's angry crying may seem like a smaller version of one. If your baby's fussy throughout the day but doesn't need to be fed or have her diaper changed, he may just need to let off steam. Some babies cry to release tension or burn off excess energy – and some just need to cry themselves to sleep.
Even babies who are usually pleasant may get frustrated and angry when they start to explore their surroundings but aren't quite capable of doing what they want. So for example, if your baby is over strapped in the car seat and he wants to move around, he cannot do this freely so he gets fussy.
Most importantly, you need to remain calm as much as you can. Babies can feel that an adult is irritated and usually respond better to the calm contained adult versus the angry adult.

Annual Checkup
It is recommended that all individuals see a Family Doctor for a full medical examination annually. Adults should get their blood pressure checked (US Preventive Task Force), a flu vaccine (CDC) and more each year.
The American Dental Association recommends dental cleanings for adults at least twice annually. Some stains can only be removed by a professional cleaning.
It’s recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that every adult between the ages of 18 and 80 does an eye examination at least once every two years.
It's recommended by the American Cancer Association that every adult between the age of 20 and 80 does an annual skin screening by a licensed dermatologist.
