Question
My child is quite young and has just been diagnosed. They eat a lot, but I’m very worried. What treatment methods are available for children with short stature, and are there any traditional treatments?
Answer
If your child is experiencing delayed growth and has become shorter in stature, it’s important to have their constitution and endocrine hormones checked to understand the status of their endocrine hormones and bone growth. I believe it’s necessary to combine clinical manifestations with physical exercise and acupuncture methods to stabilize the potential harm of short stature to the child. I recommend that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for a follow-up consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can give your child some juice to aid digestion and vitamin absorption, and prevent stomach upsets. We hope the child can recover quickly!
