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 irritable and crying for pain you can give paracetamol also.d
it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.
but if hygiene is not maintained then dirty things going inside the orald cavity can cause infection fever vomiting and loose motions.
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Teething can be one reason and second time also it could be a common habit for the child which can be seen with kids from an early age and yes it is an awful habit so you need to keep taking the hand and finger out of the mouth otherwise otherwise your child is going to get into this habit of constantly repeating it
