My child's teething process is on and so he goes through a lot of itching and irritation specially in his gums. What should be done to soothe him? I do massage him but he starts putting his finger and thumb in his mouth. Please help me resolve this problem.

A. Hi you can give your child chilled silicon based teething rings to chew on..you can also give frozen fruit slices of cucumber, carrot to chew and this will soothe the gums and at the same time will facilitate the eruption process.
