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 thygiene 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 and crying for pain you can give pvaracetamol also.
it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.

Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 6 m old boy3 years agoA. Hello dear parent! Check if your baby is teething. Use Babyhug teethers and soothers. Maintain a good personal and oral hygiene for your baby. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration.
