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 handsd 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.

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. Yup absolutely you should give it to the child because that is what even I would have suggested you to go for seems like a child is in the process or to have its teeth which is why your child is taking the finger all the time inside the mouth do you certainly should be going ahead with that as of now
