What to do when the teeth begin to be cut

When problems with the tummy are already behind, and it seems that the serene life is about to begin, the kid again becomes capricious. What could bother him? Of course, teeth. Usually the teeth of the baby begin to appear in 4-7 months and in a certain order. But there are exceptions, which depend on hereditary factors. What symptoms are accompanied by this process? And how can we help crumbs?

Symptoms

The period when the teeth begin to be cut, every kid experiences in his own way. Some mothers find a barely noticeable new tooth in the morning, and others do not sleep at night. Even in one child, the teeth can erupt with different symptoms. The following are common symptoms that can be observed in a baby.

1. The kid pulls into his mouth and gnaws at anything he can, including his fingers.
2. Increased salivation. Saliva can appear in the baby even a few months before the first tooth.
3. Because of the pain accompanying teething, children can restlessly sleep at night and be capricious.
4. When the teeth begin to be cut, the children get swollen gums.
5. Diarrhea is associated with increased salivation, as the baby swallows a lot of saliva. Diarrhea when teething is watery, up to 3 times a day, and lasting no longer than 3 days.
6. Transparent cold. It should not be abundant and also takes place on day 3.
7. The wet cough is due to the accumulation of saliva in the throat. It is rare and strengthens in a supine position.
8. Raise body temperature to 39 degrees. The reason for this is the isolation of biologically active substances at the tooth eruption site. At a very high temperature, antipyretic agents should be given.

As we see, many of these signs can manifest not only when the child has teeth, but also in case of infection. Therefore, it is necessary to show the child to the pediatrician, especially in case of fever. And only the doctor, eliminating the intestinal infection and ARD, will be able to say exactly what these symptoms indicate the rapid appearance of the teeth. Treatment in this case requires only a high temperature. But cough, diarrhea and runny nose will be gone within 3 days.
