Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Does bone age testing in children have side effects?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a growth plate examination. If the growth plates are about to close but have not fully closed, short-term use of growth hormone may be possible. However, it is crucial to act quickly now. Opportunity knocks but once! If used too early, it may lead to premature closure of the growth plates, affecting final height. In your case, it may be due to "empty heat" and "ascending yang fire." You can use cinnamon to soak and consume it, as it has the effect of guiding the fire back to the "mingmen" (life gate), thereby redirecting the upward fire to return to the lower body. The method involves adding warming herbs like aconite and cinnamon to nourishing Yin herbs.
