Patient's question:
A 5-month-old child always wants to bite and opens their mouth. What could be the reason? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered. What kind of help is desired: Want to know how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Your child may be experiencing this because of teething, which can cause gum swelling. This discomfort might make your child reluctant to bite or chew things. Alternatively, it could be due to internal heat in the child.There’s no need to worry too much. As long as your child is eating, drinking, sleeping, and having regular bowel movements and urination, everything should be fine. Sometimes, teething can cause a fever. In that case, it’s best to visit the hospital. If the issue isn’t related to teething, consider consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for adjustment.
Wishing your child a healthy growth.
