Patient's question:
Seven and a half years old, 107 cm, is it normal? She grew 10 cm in two years, is it slow development? She has a bit of a weak stomach and spleen, is it related to this? What should I do? She is much shorter than her peers, it's really worrying. Cares...Doctor's answer:
After the age of 12, it is generally the age divided by 7, plus 70 cm, but a fluctuation of ±10% within this standard is usually acceptable.Advice: First, it is recommended to carefully check whether there is a deficiency in trace elements and to also check whether growth hormone levels are normal. Additionally, it is important to note that going to bed late can interfere with growth and development. Pay attention to the fact that the peak excretion of growth hormone occurs between 9 PM and 11 PM each day. It is essential to ensure sufficient rest time and quality.
Furthermore, pay attention to eating more vegetables, high-protein foods, high-quality protein foods, and calcium-rich foods, as well as zinc-rich foods, to prevent picky eating. Ensure adequate rest time and quality. Engage in regular physical exercise, such as cycling, parallel bars, and other sports.
