Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year ago
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 pressx the gums of the child and if the child is very irritable and 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 xcavity can cause infection fever vomiting and loose motions.

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. It can be due to teething in the baby and is completely normal. Please give homeopathic medicine BC 21 to the baby. also rub baby gums with clean cotton cloth. You can also put cotton mittens on Baby hands so that the baby does not suck his fingers or thumb. Thanks and take care
