Question
Should children with short stature definitely be injected with growth hormones? How can you determine if they have dwarfism?
Answer
Children with short stature may not necessarily have dwarfism and could be related to dietary habits and nutritional intake. It is recommended to provide children with a balanced diet, increase the intake of fruits and vegetables, and avoid excessive snacks, sweets, spicy, cold foods, and greasy foods. Adequate sunlight exposure can help with calcium absorption, and you can undergo tests for trace elements, such as deficiencies in calcium or zinc, and receive symptomatic treatment based on the results.
