A. 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 irrditable and crying for pain you can give paracetamol also. it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required. but if hygiedne is not maintained then dirty things going inside the oral cavity can cause infection fever vomiting and loose motions.

A. Teething could be happening with your child and also it is a very calm and habit also of kids to put everything into their mouth so you have to give reasons out of the reach of your child and don’t give any toy which is small in size sheet to be very particular about these things
