Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 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 finfger when you are touching the hands of the child.
to decrease the teething pain you can press the gums of the child anfd 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.

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl3 years agoA. hi
yes it can be teething or it is just sucking reflux
so don't worry
it is normal
just try to soothe your child itchy gums by gently giving massage on sore gums of your child.
give it with your Pointer finger in circular motion.
or give clean Cotton clothe to chew
