My 5 month old opened her mouth for 2 to 3 mins two times today. I was worried about her because she never did it before. Is it normal? Moreover she do not have congested nose nor does she have any other symptoms or issue..

Female | 5 months

It's not uncommon for infants to exhibit new behaviors, such as opening their mouths for extended periods. This could be a sign of exploring their environment, a reflex action, or simply a stage in their development. Since your baby is not showing any signs of discomfort or illness, it’s likely nothing to be concerned about. However, keep an eye on her behavior. If it continues or if you notice any other unusual signs, don’t hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician for reassurance.

Your child's fever is concerning. Fevers usually happen when the body fights infections, like colds or flu. To lower fever and improve comfort, give acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Ensure they drink water frequently. Let them rest. Use a light blanket to maintain coolness. However, if the fever doesn't improve or worsen, it's crucial to visit a pediatrician immediately.
