Question
My baby was just born, and I don’t know what’s going on, but there are always red spots on his body, and he also spits up milk. Is there a relationship between my baby’s constant thumb-sucking at three months old and teething?
Answer
Hello, according to your description, it is normal for babies to enjoy thumb-sucking, and it does not affect teething. On one hand, it can bring comfort to the baby and reduce anxiety. In your case, treatment may include antibiotics, hormones, antihistamines, antivirals, and traditional Chinese medicine. It is necessary to avoid spicy, alcoholic, cold, and other irritating foods in daily life. It is also important to strengthen physical exercise and build up the body’s constitution.
