Question
My son is 4 months old and his height has already reached 132 cm, which is equivalent to an 18-year-old. He hasn’t grown taller since the New Year. His father is 163 cm tall, and his mother is 150 cm tall. We have supplemented with a large amount of calcium but it has been ineffective. Could he have dwarfism? Which hospital should we consult?
Answer
Before treating dwarfism, it is crucial to make an accurate diagnosis, as the causes are diverse, including genetic and environmental factors. Children grow and develop at different rates, so there is no need to worry excessively. It is important to provide normal nutrition, vitamins, and calcium. I hope this information is helpful to you.
