Does growth hormone really help you grow taller?

Patient's question:

The child is among the shortest in the class, which makes them a bit self-conscious, and it's a major concern.
What kind of help is desired: People have mentioned that growth hormone can help with height, but I don't fully understand this. I hope to get some authoritative advice.

Doctor's answer:

Using growth hormone can make you taller. Growth hormone has generative and metabolic effects, can increase muscle, and can also promote bone growth in children and adolescents, as well as strengthen tendons and reduce internal organs. However, long-term high-dose use of human growth hormone can lead to infectious diseases such as AIDS. Excessive use of growth hormone can reduce insulin sensitivity, leading to blood sugar intolerance. Excessive use of exogenous growth hormone can also cause the body to produce antibodies to growth hormone, thereby interfering with the activity of endogenous growth hormone, leading to hormone secretion disorders, and the damage it causes is irreversible.
