Author of questionMom of 2 children2 years agoA. baby is cranky whole day and putting fist in mouth and crying.. and not taking breasfeed.. what may be the cause
Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. yes can happen
it is due to teething.
there is itching, pain, drooling of saliva, swelling in the gums, oral finger insertion, irritability and crying during the teething process.
it will come intermittently for few days to few weeks and then will go away. usually teething pain doesn't come after 2 years of age
with the help of your fingers you can press the gums of the child to decrease the pain as well as you can give a pacifier but it should be clean.
you can give a cold cotton cloth to bite and press between the gums
the child is crying due to pain then you can give paracetamol whichs will also help in decreasing the pain
Long-term medicine are usually not advisable.
