A. it is absolutely normal in this age

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy3 years ago

A. is very normal behaviour at this age. finger, 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 paracetamol also. it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required. there is no need to worry

A. Teething Maybe happening with your child which is why I believe your child is putting its fingers into the mouth every now and then that’s a very common sign when a child is about to have its teeth are in the process of having its teeth kindly check the gums will have a better car clarity about it
