Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. teething is not directly related to digestion problem or any type of fever or loose motion or illness but during the teething process children place dirty things or dirty fingers in the oral cavity (this help in self soothing) which can lead to digestion problem or vomiting or loose motion or infection which can cause fever.
placing dirty fingers or dirty objects in the oral cavity continues for 2 years of age and in this phase only the child falls ill during the teething phase
remember the fact that teething continues for 10 years but the child doesn't fall ill for 10 years
during teething (pain can start as early as 3 months)
there is itching, pain, drooling of saliva, swelling in the gums, oral finger insertion, irritability and crying during the teething process.
it will come intermittently for few days to few weeks and then will go away. usually teething pain doesn't come after 2 years of age.
with the help of your fingers you can press the gums of the child to decrease the pain as well as you can give a pacifier but it should be clean.
you can give a cold cotton cloth to bite and press between the gums
when the child is crying due dto pain not resolving then you can give paracetamol which will also help in decreasing the pain.
long-term medicine on daily basis (homeopathic /allopathdic )(they are painkiller)are usually not advisable.
