Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. finger, thumb, hand,things insertion in the oral cavity is very normal at this stage and usually it is due to teething pain the child is experiencing along with inflammation and pain in the gums.
just maintain hygiene of the child finger as well as any type of things which goes inside the oral cavity and also try to maintain the hygiene of your finger when you are touching the hands of the child.
to decrease the teething pain you can press the gums of the child and if the child is very irritable andv crying for pain you can give paracetamol also.
it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.
but if hygiene is not maintained then dirty things going inside the oral cavity can cause infection fever vomiting and loose motionsv.
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Yes possible which is when we try to take everything into their mouth they bite on your nipples their finger thumb whatever comes easier to them they start fighting and chewing on them so that can definitely be one of the biggest reasons you can check the gums if she is swelling and hardness then that could probably be the same reason
