Question
I didn’t know he had this condition, and his spirit isn’t good either. What should I do if a child with dwarfism isn’t growing?
Answer
Theoretically, it is still possible for them to grow. Generally, if there is no precocious puberty, they can still grow. However, how much they can grow depends on the height of their parents; it usually falls within the average range of their parents’ heights. The growth hormone needs to be carefully checked before it can be predicted. If a detailed examination shows that the child lacks growth hormone, then treatment can be administered. If they don’t lack it, you shouldn’t administer it arbitrarily, as there can be side effects.
