Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year 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 thxe gums of the child and if the child is very irritable and crying for pain you can give paxracetamol also.
it is a self limiting habit and 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 girl1 Year agoA. Teething may have started to happen and that is why due to irritation into the child maybe keeping his finger into the mouth all the time which is lead vomiting and they basically do this to settle down the irritation and itching into their gums so I’m going to advise you to go ahead with giving teether to your child as of now that will help a lot
