Abstract
Thumb sucking is a behavioral habit disorder. Thumb sucking is considered as a normal developmental phase but may become a habit in some children. It can be due some insecurities, boredom, and loneliness experienced by the child and may develop after the birth of sibling. Persistent sucking of thumb or fingers in older children is a cause of concern as it may lead to dental malocclusion, soreness of fingers or thumb, and speech difficulties. Homoeopathy offers effective and safe treatment for thumb sucking in children. In this article an attempt is made to explain thumb sucking in children and its homoeopathic management. Keywords: Thumb sucking, Children, Homoeopathy, Habit disorder.
