Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 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 and crying for pain you can give paracetamolc 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 motions.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Babies explore the world through their mouths, so it's completely normal for them to put their hands in their mouth. This behavior is a natural part of their development and helps them learn about textures and objects. Increased salivation is also common, especially when teething. Providing safe, clean objects for your baby to chew on can help soothe their gums and satisfy their oral curiosity.
