Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy11 months 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 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 fand no treatment is required.
but if hygiene is not maintained then dirty things going inside the oral cavity can cause infection fever vomiting and loose motions.
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl11 months agoA. Teething could be one reason and second could be that your child is intentionally doing it because in the child does it it’s basically due to some kind of a discomfort in the throat and that’s why your child doing this and after vomiting the child easing down so once I would recommend to get it checked with your doctor
