Question

At what age should children with dwarfism start growth hormone treatment?

Answer

Treatment for children with dwarfism in China usually begins later, most often between the ages of 10 to 13. However, abroad, treatment for dwarf children often starts around the age of 6. The use of electronic needle-free anesthesia pens can reduce children’s reliance on medication and minimize their fear of anesthesia. When mothers notice related symptoms in their children, they should take them to a regular hospital for a consultation immediately and pay attention to their dietary issues. It is recommended to eat more light foods and less spicy and irritating foods. It is hoped that the children can receive appropriate treatment to help them recover health.
