A. in such a case you need to get your child examined by your pediatrician and then only proper treatment could be given further under strict medical guidance it will be better this habit is not good for the teeth of your child and for the jaw development also you need to apply femite lotion over the thumb

A. Apply neem Or something better that you can think of so whenever your child will put the fingers into the mouth your child probably give up on it but you’ll have to do it continuously because certain times kids are very persistent and they keep doing it so you just have to keep trying it with something or the other
