Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. What should I do about swollen lymph nodes in children?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it could be chronic lymph node inflammation or reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. For the former, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that promotes phlegm resolution and knot dispersion, as well as heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs, can be considered for treatment. For the latter, fire needle therapy may be effective.Hello, the growth period is generally during puberty, though some may experience growth over a year. Height growth is related to genetics and individual differences. Currently, you can have an X-ray of the knee joint taken to determine if there is a possibility of increased growth.
If the epiphyseal plate has closed, height will not increase further. Otherwise, calcium supplementation or activities like jumping high may be beneficial for height growth.
