Question
My child is now 2 years and 3 months old and has been diagnosed with short stature (height of 79 cm). Is it necessary to administer growth hormone every day, or can it be administered intermittently?
Answer
Growth hormone is a hormone secreted by the human body, and as long as the dosage is appropriate, it does not have side effects. For the treatment of short stature, growth hormone can be used according to the doctor’s advice, usually requiring daily injections. However, regarding whether growth hormone can be administered intermittently, as well as the potential side effects and precautions, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor or medical institution for more detailed information.
