Patient's question:
The baby is two and a half years old and knows how to eat his thumb. He has tried spicy food, medicine, and bitter things, but still can't stop eating his thumb. What should I do? His thumb is not flat anymore. The doctor has a trick to help the baby stop eating his thumb.Doctor's answer:
The child you mentioned who is 2 years old cannot correct the habit of eating their hands. In such cases, verbal discipline should be given. Please pay attention to the child's nail condition, especially whether there has been a recurrence of abnormal nail fibrosis or other symptoms of discomfort. Only then can we provide guidance. The above is advice on the issue of "a 2.5-year-old child who eats their hands." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
