Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. I was wondering if it's necessary to stop babies from eating their hands.Doctor's answer:
It is a major progress in the intellectual development of the baby, indicating that the baby is becoming smarter. At this stage, the hands are the best toys for the baby. For babies under one year old, sucking on their hands does not require special correction. Sucking on hands can meet both physiological and psychological needs. Young children have weaker immunity, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
