What to Do If a Child Is Short in Stature

Question

What should I do if my child is short in stature? We have already gone to the hospital for a check-up.

Answer

Firstly, it is crucial to determine the cause of insufficient growth hormone secretion. Depending on the extent of growth hormone deficiency, follow the doctor’s instructions for administering growth hormone injections. The water-based form maintains the original state of the growth hormone and more closely aligns with the natural spatial structure of human endogenous growth hormone, resulting in better efficacy. Additionally, the powder form is more likely to cause tolerance and its efficacy may rise significantly over a long-term treatment period. It is also recommended to take oral vitamin AD once a day to promote growth and development.
