Question
My child, who is 5 years old, has developed redness at the injection site after using growth hormone, resembling a mosquito bite. I would like to know the cause and solution.
Answer
During the treatment period with growth hormone, redness at the injection site in children is a common phenomenon of drug reaction. If there is no pain or other discomfort, it usually does not require special treatment. It is recommended to apply a local cold compress to help reduce swelling and promote drug absorption. This condition usually resolves on its own. If the problem persists or worsens, please seek medical attention at an early stage. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
