What are the symptoms of teething in babies?

In fact, the teething period is really important for babies, and adults need to supplement babies with vitamins and calcium in time. Because of gum discomfort, babies may bite their lips and tongue, which not only bites themselves but also causes buck teeth. Parents should pay more attention to their baby's every move and stop it once they find their baby touching their lips. So, do you know what symptoms your baby has during teething?

Sucking fingers and biting nipples. Babies in the teething period will like to chew things because their gums are uncomfortable. It usually manifests itself as a love of biting the mother's nipples, pacifiers and their own fingers. This is because when the teeth erupt, the gums are stimulated to become congested and edematous, and the baby's gums become itchy and other discomforts. Relieve the itchy discomfort by biting the nipple or sucking the fingers. During this period, you can give your baby clean gauze, rubber stick toys or harder food, and let your baby chew these things to relieve the discomfort of itchy gums.

Increased saliva. When teething, your baby's saliva will increase significantly. At the beginning, the baby's salivary glands are underdeveloped and the amount of saliva is small. When teeth start to erupt at 6-7 months, the eruption of teeth makes the gums itchy and the saliva secretion increases significantly, so the child has a lot of saliva when teething. Because babies' oral cavity is not deep enough, their nervous system development and swallowing reflex are poor, and their ability to control the flow of saliva in the mouth is poor, they often drool. In this case, you should wipe it dry in time to keep the skin of your lower lip dry and clean. As you age and your teeth erupt, drooling will gradually disappear.

Do you understand what symptoms your baby has during teething? In fact, you don’t have to worry too much about the various symptoms your baby has during teething. For example, fever is a normal thing and parents don’t need to be overly anxious. However, if the baby has a repeated fever or a high temperature, it is recommended to see a doctor in time. At the same time, physical cooling can be adopted, such as wiping the baby's armpits and carotid artery with warm water.
