Question
My child has been crying and fussing a lot lately and doesn’t eat much. Is a 6-year-old child who is 110 cm tall having a problem? Will they grow taller in the future?
Answer
Short stature is generally related to a lack of growth hormone or genetics. It is recommended to first check the levels of growth hormone and the epiphyseal plate. The main physiological function of growth hormone is to promote the growth of all tissues except nervous tissue.
