Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years 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 yoeu can press the gums of the child and if the child is very irritable and crying for pain you dcan give paracetamol also.
it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.
RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl2 years agoA. Teething could be happening so probably which is why this is happening I would advise you to introduce a teether to the child year that is the right age for you to go ahead with that because when a child is in the process of adding its teeth it really helps a lot
