What Are The Effects Of Thumb Sucking?
I have a 2 1/2 year old girl who has always sucked her thumb. In the last couple of weeks her thumb nail has slowley started coming away and now seems to be hanging on by a small bit of skin/nail. I am concerned about hygine, and whether, if the nail does fall off, will it grow back as normal

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, with thumb sucking in children nothing goes wrong and as long as your query is concern about the nail so this would be fine and it may not be due to thumb sucking, so no need to worry about this you would find the new nail soon, take care.
