Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. finger, 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 oof 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.
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl3 years agoA. Teething Could be the reason as most of the parents do not know that the process can start after the age of three months at any point of time so some kids do have it at an early time of 3 to 3 1/2 months which is why they mostly keep their fingers into the mouth due to irritation in the gums
