Patient's question:
My son is now 7 years old, but compared to his peers and younger children, he is significantly shorter. He is currently 1 meter and a bit (1.1 meters), and I'm wondering how I can help him grow taller.Doctor's answer:
Actually, the main reasons for a child's slow physical growth are two factors: the first is nutrition and genetic issues, and the second is the child's intellectual development problem. If a child's mental development is slow, it can reduce the transformation of other body parts. Besides the possibility of calcium deficiency, you can first go to the hospital to check for trace elements. At the same time, you should encourage the child to be more active and get more sunlight to enhance calcium absorption. The above is advice on the question "Why is my child's height not growing as expected?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
