Question
My child is very short for his age, he is the shortest in his class, and he says his classmates have given him a nickname called ‘Midget’. How should I treat my child’s short stature effectively?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, the dosage of growth hormone used varies with age and weight. Not all cases of short stature are suitable for treatment with growth hormone; only those caused by growth hormone deficiency are suitable. The dosage of the injection varies with age and weight. Short stature can be very harmful to children. Once parents notice any symptoms, they should take their child to a regular hospital for treatment promptly. At the same time, pay more attention to the child’s care issues. It is recommended to consume light and easy-to-digest foods and eat less spicy and irritating foods. We hope that the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
