How to handle the situation of delayed growth in children’s height?

Answer

If a child’s height development is delayed, it is first important to visit a pediatrician for a check-up to determine if there is a hormonal imbalance. Consider giving your child Bishao Granules, a supplement, which is generally recommended to be taken for 2 to 3 months to observe significant effects. Additionally, exercises that promote bone growth can also help increase height. If there is a suspicion that the child lacks growth hormone, treatment with traditional Chinese medicine or growth hormone may be necessary. The correct way to calculate height is: height calculation formula: age multiplied by 6 plus 77; weight calculation formula: age multiplied by 2 plus 8. Depending on the child’s actual situation, if the gap is not significant, it may be due to late growth, and there is no need to worry too much at this point.
