Is the height of a three-year-old child affected by genetic factors?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and I have recently been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. I was wondering if a three-year-old's height is influenced by genetic factors?

Doctor's answer:

Height is usually related to a lack of growth hormone or genetics. It is recommended to check the growth hormone and growth plate first. The main physiological function of growth hormone is to promote the growth of all tissues except nervous tissue. The child's vomiting may be a symptom caused by gastritis or other reasons. Timely oral administration of metoclopramide can be treated. Maintain a balanced diet, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, keep emotions stable, timely supplement multiple vitamins and trace elements, and regular check-ups are okay. Drink more water, rest, avoid spicy foods, and recover soon.
