Question
Can Traditional Chinese Medicine Treat an Eight-Year-Old with Precocious Puberty and Allergic Constitution?
Answer
Children with precocious puberty should carefully investigate the cause, which may involve wrist bone X-rays, ultrasounds, and endocrine function tests to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment approaches differ based on the cause of precocious puberty; if a tumor is detected, surgery may be necessary. If an external factor is at play, immediate cessation of hormone-containing medications and foods is advised. Your situation might be due to a calcium deficiency, so supplementing with calcium is recommended. Yogurt is also an excellent calcium-rich food choice; it not only provides calcium but also contains beneficial bacteria that can help regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for a wide range of individuals.
