Insertion of fingers, thumbs, or objects into the oral cavity is a common behavior observed at this stage, often attributed to teething pain, inflammation, and discomfort in the child's gums. It is important to prioritize hygiene by ensuring cleanliness of the child's fingers and any objects that come into contact with the oral cavity. Additionally, maintain cleanliness when handling the child's hands. To alleviate teething pain, gentle pressure can be applied to the child's gums, and in cases of severe irritability and crying due to pain, paracetamol may be administered. This habit tendsr to resolve on its own, usually without the need for treatment. However, inadequate hygiene practices can lead to serious consequences such as infections, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea if dirty objects enter the oral cavity.r
