Patient's question:
Consultation Description: Recently, I noticed that my child is shorter than their peers of the same age and gender. Is this a sign of dwarfism??？？ Help: I want to ask the doctor what should be done? What kind of treatment should be implemented?Doctor's answer:
Parents should not panic first. A child will only be diagnosed with dwarfism if they exhibit the following symptoms again: 1. Height more than 2 standard deviations above their age, race, gender, region, and ethnic group (5cm). Hello! Based on your description, it is likely that the height issue is caused by calcium deficiency and malnutrition. It is recommended to pay attention to your health daily, take appropriate calcium supplements, and eat nutrient-rich foods such as eggs, dairy products, and lean meat. This will help your body to metabolize properly.
