Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 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 the gums of the child and if the child is very irrithable and 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 oral cavity can cause infection fever vomiting and loose motions.
NikithaMom of a 10 yr 9 m old boy1 Year agoA. hello it is normal with the baby at this age and it is just exploring its own body parts and as the baby grow it will be able to get rid of the Abbot and you can also try to distract the baby which would be safe and absolutely nothing to worry about
