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 press the gums of the child and if the child is very irritable xand 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 oralx cavity can cause infection fever vomiting and loose motions.

A. Yeah there can be a possibility to the same it is very bad habit which kids get into by keeping the thumb into the mouth all the time so you can apply anything bitter on the thumb so that slowly gradually the child is going to give upon this habit
