Question
My child was diagnosed with growth delay at the age of 6. I would like to know how to help my child and which type of growth hormone treatment is better.
Answer
Growth hormones are categorized into four types: powder injections, water injections, and long-acting water injections. The choice of treatment depends on convenience factors such as anesthetic conditions, ease of access, and distance from home. There is no superior or inferior method among these. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is recommended to consult with a local hospital and make a decision. Given the threat posed by growth delay to children, parents should take their child to a doctor immediately, avoid using unapproved medications from small advertisements, use medication appropriately, and closely monitor the child’s symptoms to help them receive timely treatment.
