The picture, when a child’s tooth is cut, often looks like this: the whole house is literally on your ears!
Mom, dad, grandmother, grandfather, mom’s girlfriend, grandmother’s girlfriend - everyone is trying to calm the sufferer, who constantly yells and scratches his gum with everything that gets into his open mouth. The child is passed from hand to hand, not knowing what to do.
Very rarely, in children, the teeth erupt so that it does not cause inconvenience to them and others.
And it also happens that at this time the baby has a high fever, diarrhea, and vomiting begin.
If teeth are cut with such symptoms , how can I help my child?
Ah, those teeth!
First of all, you need to make sure that the baby’s anxiety is associated with teething, and not with any disease. It is possible to understand that it is they, by profuse salivation, which begins 2 weeks before the appearance of the first incisor.
It can be seen that the problem is in the teeth and in the gums. They swell and blush. In some cases, when a tooth is cut in a child, a bruise can be seen on the gum. There is nothing wrong with this phenomenon. A blood clot under the mucosa is caused by a tooth being crushed by a blood vessel.
If your parents did not prepare in advance, did not buy special “rodents”, then you can calm the pain in the gums with a cold compress. A decoction of chamomile need to soak a tissue napkin and cool it in the freezer. The baby is given a rag to chew. This way for a while will help him calm down.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to acquire “rodents” when a tooth is cut in a child. Particularly effective in helping to relieve itching in the gums are devices that should be frozen before use. The pain successfully relieves the gel, which is applied directly to the rodent. It is not recommended to scratch the gum yourself with a teaspoon, a piece of sugar, or even just a finger. You can bring an infection. It’s very convenient to massage your baby’s gums with a special massager brush. Its design is designed so as not to damage the delicate mucosa.
As mentioned above, when a child has a tooth cut, a temperature may appear. If it becomes more than 38 degrees, it needs to be knocked down. For this, special funds are purchased for children, most often use the drug "Nurofen". No “quarters” of aspirin! Amateur activity in this case is fraught with a deterioration in the health of the baby.
It is very important to wash the things that the child drags in his mouth. It is necessary to ensure that infection does not enter his body.
Teething time
It is impossible to say that this tooth got out on time, and this one was late. They erupt completely individually in children. It happens that the child lived for 3 months - teeth are cut. And in some babies, the gums swell for the first time almost a year.
If the baby erupted early teeth, then women most often excommunicate such a “bite” from the breast.
There are special pads for breastfeeding. If they are purchased, then the infant will not have to be transferred to artificial mixtures.
You can predict in advance when a child has a tooth cut where it appears. The first incisors appear first. In a couple of months, the upper ones will come out. By the year the baby usually has 6-8 beautiful new teeth in his mouth. If only mom cares for them well.
First teeth care
You need to watch your teeth from the day they appeared. Brush with a soft rubber brush, gently massaging the gums. See that there is no plaque on the teeth. Do not press hard so as not to damage the delicate unformed roots. Be sure to show the child to the dentist so that he inspects the "subject of pride" for damage. Unfortunately, due to poor water or congenital infections, sometimes teeth begin to break in children immediately after they erupt.
