Mon_Mon,Is there really such medication? My 3yr old girl has this problem too. Doesn't seem to be able to get her out of it. I must go check it out.
same as me de.my DS also. and he's 4 now. he loves putting his fingers in his mouth and suck when he dun have his pacifer. to the extend where his fingers are peeling all the time. and he got the bad habit of using his index finger to dig his thumb until sometimes got blood.
What medication u have bought?cendrine,
yalor.....having been trying to get rid of this bad habit since last year but not succeeding. Her thumb also looks very ugly, peeling skin and ugly nail. In fact, nail is soft and doesn't grow. Think digested by the siliva.
I bought the medication that prevents nail biting yesterday. Used it on her thumb. Whenever she tries to put her thumb in, she pulls it out immediately cos it taste really yucky. I tried tasting it myself....gosh!! it was bad.....EXTREMELY bitter. Hope this time round can succeed.
