A.B.
My son went through the same thing at that age....even earlier, actually. I was surprised that tantrums would begin that early, but the pediatrician assured me it was normal. With my son, the only thing that would work at that age was ignoring it. He could not be comforted and if I touched him, it only made him madder! So I would either ignore him, and pretend to be super involved in some other activity nearby (such as reading his books or playing with his toys....sometimes that would actually snap him out of it and lure him over to play!) OR, most of the time what I had to resort to was putting him in his crib and leaving the room. When he realized his tantrum was not getting him any attention or interaction whatsoever, it would stop. I would go in as soon as I heard him calming down and start talking with him and smiling like nothing happened. Then suddenly he would forget he was upset and we would get on with our day! Good luck!
