Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 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 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 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.
avoid bottle

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. Hi your child is going through the process of having its teeth which is why your child is behaving like this you can check the gums for better clarity and if you want to go ahead with any good brand of bottle then I would advise you to go ahead with using Phillips when it is going to be as per the age group
