Patient's question:
My son just turned 2 years old and is 85 cm tall. Is he shorter than average? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: There was no treatment. What kind of help do you expect: Expert advice on what calcium supplements should be taken.Doctor's answer:
Your baby is indeed short, and their height is related to multiple different factors. The main one is intergenerational inheritance. In daily life, engaging in more activities, getting more sunlight, and eating more calcium-rich foods, while ensuring sufficient sleep time, can help with growth. It's appropriate to supplement with vitamin D and calcium. Monitor your child's height and weight gain. If there is a significant slowdown in height growth, it is recommended to seek medical follow-up as soon as possible to avoid interfering with your baby's final height.
