Question
My son is 18 years old at just 4 months, and he is now 1.32 meters tall. He hasn’t grown taller since the New Year. His father is 1.63 meters tall, and his mother is 1.50 meters tall. I’ve given him a lot of calcium supplements, but there has been no effect. I’m looking for this kind of assistance: Hello, could this be a case of short stature? Which hospital should I visit?
Answer
For effective treatment of short stature, a correct diagnosis is essential. As I mentioned earlier, there are many causes of short stature with numerous influencing factors. Environmental factors and genetic factors can both be contributing causes. Children grow and develop at different rates, so I suggest not to worry too much or become overly anxious. Continue to provide your child with a normal diet, vitamins, and calcium supplements. I hope this can help you.
