The child begins to pull into his mouth all that is horrible, various objects, hands and stuff. He becomes restless, especially during the day and at night. This means that the tooth is approaching the mucosa and is close to breaking it. 
Further, reddening, swelling of the gums develops and is observed:
- nasal discharge;
- infrequent cough;
- temperature fluctuations.
How the gums look when cutting teeth
When a baby is born, then its crowns are already formed by that time. They are hidden in the alveolar processes of the upper, as well as the lower jaw. Erection, this increase in volume, which is accompanied by ejection.
First they pass through the bone tissue, and then the soft mucous membrane. That's when all the horrible and unpleasant symptoms begin: the gum swells, itches badly, pains are felt in the area where the teeth grow.
Before the gum teeth are cut, they look pale pink. This is their natural color in a normal state. No changes or inflammation is observed.
The essence of the process, what happens
According to observations, the first pair of teeth appears already in six months. But the first teeth can erupt at the age of 4 to 9 months, this is normal. First of all, the front incisors come from below, and behind them the upper ones. The first molars will come out by 9 months. A year later, the baby's fangs are formed, the process of formation is completed in three years.
Take your time. It is important to realize that everyone has this differently because of the characteristics of the body. Be patient, let the baby feel affection and care. This period is difficult for him to survive. Doctors say that the most difficult thing is the appearance of lower incisors and the cutting of canines, those that are on top.

The gum inflames because the tooth's edge cuts the tooth. When the gum swells the baby burns with a desire to scratch it, that's why it pulls everything in the mouth.
At this difficult time the kid is very moody. He does not sleep in practical life and constantly cries. You need to take it in your hands, sing to him or just talk. Do not allow any loud noises in your home, turn off the TV.You can include regular, classical music, so that the child falls asleep.
Inflamed gums can cause fever. If within two days, it keeps within 38,5, then this is normal. If it rises higher, and also begins fever - this means the presence of other diseases.
The presence of a cold and cough is also normal. This happens because of the secretion of saliva, which enters the nasopharynx, irritates it and cough is formed. It is slightly moist, infrequent and accompanied by salivation. The nose should not be laid, if the runny nose or coughing others are signs of another disease.
When cutting, the baby may not want to eat or come up with stomach upsets, vomiting, diarrhea and others. When the process is over, everything will return to normal.
If the baby is breastfeeding, then he can abandon it or ask for more. Stool strengthens or diarrhea begins.
