Question

How to treat short stature?

Answer

A child’s height is influenced by factors such as constitution, genetics, and nutrition, and growth can be promoted through improved nutrition and appropriate exercise. Additionally, the timing of growth and development varies greatly among individuals, so there is no need to be overly concerned. For patients with orthopedic diseases, in addition to symptomatic treatment, daily care is also very important, including eating more vegetables and calcium-rich foods to reduce the chance of illness.
