Patient's question:
Grew almost to a stop, now 8 years old, only 1.1 meters tall. Not much treatment has been done. Wondering which hospital is best for examining and treating such casesDoctor's answer:
The child's symptoms are slow growth and development. Given the uniqueness of this situation, it is best to use medication that targets the symptoms to gradually stabilize the condition. It is recommended to have the child checked at the hospital for bone density, endocrine function, liver and kidney function, and to take X-rays to see if there are any scars at the growth plates. This will help identify the cause, and if there are any discomforts, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Additionally, there is a natural variation in the timing of growth and development in children, so there is no need to be too anxious. Proper diet, balanced nutrition, and appropriate exercise are important.
