Is it good for a two-month-old baby to suck their hands?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and recently I've been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it's affecting my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took isn't very effective. Is it okay for a two-month-old baby to suck their hand?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, babies often suck their hands mainly due to a habitual action or a lack of trace elements such as calcium. First, it's important to pay attention to daily care and frequently correct the baby's habit. Additionally, check for any issues related to the lack of trace elements.
The condition you mentioned is likely a common wart, also known as a verruca, which is caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). If the number is small, laser treatment is recommended. If there are many, medication soaking and oral traditional Chinese medicine may be necessary. Therefore, it's important to address it promptly to prevent transmission.
