When teeth are chopped: symptoms

As a rule, parents are impatiently waiting for the child to start cutting teeth. They anticipate in advance that the first will go too painfully. Very often, when the teeth are cut, the symptoms really resemble a disease: the temperature rises, the baby fusses, etc. The parents can not influence the natural process of teething either physicians or physicians. This difficult time is just necessary to survive.

What not to do?

Do not constantly look into the baby's mouth and demonstrate how worried you are. Thus, you will only worsen the emotional state of the child. Do not also worry about the fact that teeth are cut very early or do not grow at all, although the baby has already turned six months old. You probably did not meet people who never had teeth. They will necessarily appear.

How to understand that a child's teeth are cut?

Usually, as soon as the baby turns six months (and sometimes only four months), any malaise the child writes off by the parents that the teeth are cut. Symptoms and signs of this process, they are ready to see every time a child is feverish or capricious.

Why is this approach dangerous?

It is from the age of six months that the risk of catching a cold or infection becomes higher, because even in children who are breast-fed, at this time in the body there are no antibodies that they received in the womb of the mother. Next, the baby begins to develop its own immunity. Do not think that if the pope gets sick and the baby has a runny nose, then this is a sign of cutting teeth. Do not write off all diseases for dentition. Parents just need to know that when the teeth are chopped, the symptoms can manifest as a cold. This is a rather painful process, which can worsen a child's condition, but moderately. If your child is suffering from high fever, does not want anything, eat and drink, then such symptoms can not be a manifestation of cutting teeth. Immediately call a doctor.
