Inconsolable crying 18m old

Hello I’ve never posted so hopefully I’m doing this correctly. I’m trying to see if anybody by chance has a similar experience with their child. We went to the pediatrician and didn’t get any answers other than her behavior is abnormal but hopefully a phase my daughter will grow out of. I’m hoping that’s true but we are really struggling and if somebody else had a similar experience that would at least be helpful to know! Side note: he says he’s not concerned with her developmental wise and she’s doing great in that aspect so not related to that he said. He also checked ears, mouth, pushed on belly, listened to her and that was fine.

For the past month/ little over a month my daughter (18 months) is having these “episodes” (for lack of a better term). It used to be triggered right after a nap even if she got a good nap in where she will be inconsolably crying for 1-2 hrs and nothing will soothe her. Trust me we’ve tried it all. After the episode she will act back to normal playing and being okay. Lately it’s starting to be triggered by other things, sometimes diaper changes, bath time (she loves the pool currently and used to love baths), lotion being put on her, and today it was out of nowhere no trigger we can really see. Maybe because she didn’t get her way and have us pick her up? But it’s really a struggle when this has been happening most days of the week.

Any similar experiences or tips would be appreciated!
