Doctor in the House: Is your infant drooling excessively? She may be teething | Parenting News,The Indian Express
By the time your baby is three years old, she should have 20 teeth. Here’s a look at the dos and don’ts of the teething process
Signs that your baby maybe teething
A lot of babies don’t really show major symptoms and you may suddenly discover a tooth has sprouted in the lower jaw when you are breastfeeding. Others may show one or more of the following symptoms or even most of them:
— swollen and painful gums, — being more fussy than usual — mild fever — wanting to chew on anything and everything — putting fingers or even the whole hand in the mouth — drooling excessively to the point that the baby develops a rash — tugging at the ear — unwilling to eat or feed
As mentioned above, most children sprout teeth and have no real problem. But if your baby develops high fever, vomiting and diarrhoea, cough and cold you need to speak to your paediatrician as these are not symptoms of teething.
