Question
What are the side effects of growth hormone anesthesia, and will the child become dependent on the medication? I’m looking for guidance on this matter.
Answer
According to the description, the child is receiving growth hormone treatment under anesthesia due to insufficient secretion of growth hormone in the body, which affects growth and development. Without growth hormone treatment, the child may stop growing due to growth hormone deficiency. Once the child reaches a certain age and the growth plates close, growth hormone will no longer have a significant effect on them, thus not causing dependency.
