Question

The child eats well but doesn’t grow taller. Recently, I found out that they also have a bit of a pigeon chest. What could be the cause?

Answer

Hello, considering the possibility of calcium deficiency, you can opt for calcium supplementation treatments such as Dikao or Gai Zhong Gai, and consume more foods high in calcium like chicken and bone soup. There are many triggers for pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression (cooperate with gastrointestinal reduction), and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to allow their children to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
