Hi!
This is a tough situation to be in. Ideally it would be best to give up such attachments. You could consult a therapist to help you in this. Prolonged use of these pacifiers can alter your dental alignment, cause mouth ulcers and infections and in general would not be acceptable by most adults. However, it is equally true that your loved ones will accept you as you are. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
