Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 My son has developed a habit of clenching his fingers and also placing one finger on top of another? Any one who has experienced this? I fear his fingers will be deformed. He is also sucking his lips in a funny way and having queer mouth movements He is 3.4 years old. Any one please advice on how to handle this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 For quite a long time, he had a throat infetion and a throat swap showed he had a streptoccocus aureux (or something close to this). He hasnt developed a thorat infection for quite some time now. Could a past infection still bring about such behaviuors? How did you treat it?
