Patient's question:
Height: 84cm, Weight: 11.5kg. During the health check-up, the doctor said that both the height and weight were above the normal range and advised us to take the child to a large hospital for a thorough examination. Dad is 160cm tall, and Mom is 156cm tall. Currently, the child has symptoms such as being afraid to eat dinner, lack of meat, poor immunity, and bad breath.Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment. What kind of help is needed:
1. Which department should be visited at a regular hospital? Is it necessary to have a urine test and check for trace elements?
Doctor's answer:
The height of children is mainly related to intergenerational genetic factors. If the parents are not tall, then the children are generally not exceptionally tall either. However, height can be appropriately increased through postnatal efforts. It is important not to skip meals and to consume more seasonal vegetables and fruits while drinking plenty of water. Moderate consumption of high-quality proteins such as fish, shrimp, and eggs can aid digestion. Increasing outdoor activity time can help boost immunity. Adequate supplementation of vitamin D and calcium can promote bone growth. If necessary, have a thorough check-up for growth hormone. If there is a deficiency, medication may be required to address it.
