Question
Why does a 5-month-old baby often want to bite?
Answer
A 5-month-old baby may bite due to teething, as their gums become swollen. Additionally, the child might exhibit this behavior due to spleen heat. Parents should not worry too much; as long as the baby’s diet, sleep, and bowel movements are normal, no special treatment is needed. During the teething period, the baby may also have a fever, at which point it is advisable to observe whether medical attention is required. If the child is not teething, consider seeking assistance from traditional Chinese medicine to adjust the body. Wishing your child a healthy growth.
