Patient's question:
At the age of 7, my child is only 90 cm tall. Is that normal? What should I do? How can I treat it?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
Regardless of any assistance: I want to know about my child's short stature and how to treat it...
Doctor's answer:
This symptom is considered possible. If you follow the dietary methods mentioned below, there is still a chance for further growth.Recommendations:
To promote growth, it is advisable to consume more protein, especially foods rich in amino acids, such as:
- Flour
- Wheat germ
- Beans
- Shrimp
- Crab
- Shellfish
- Seaweed
- Beef
- Chicken
- Liver
- Pork leg meat
- Eggs
- Milk
- Cheese
- Dark-colored vegetables, etc.
Conversely, foods like white rice, glutinous rice, and desserts should be avoided as much as possible. Soft drinks and fruit juices should also be consumed in moderation, as they contain high levels of sugar, which can hinder calcium absorption and interfere with bone growth and development.
Additionally, salt is a major enemy of growth. It is essential to develop the habit of eating less salt.
