It's said that using an electronic pen is convenient and painless. I don't know if the electronic pen is good or not?
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. If the child is particularly upset, you can use an electronic pen to administer anesthesia. The electronic pen reduces the child's fear of anesthesia by not exposing the needle and having memory functions. If the child is not particularly upset, you can use a regular needle. I recommend using a long-acting growth hormone. Jinsai long-acting growth hormone has the highest bioactivity and works well, and you don't need to inject it every day. However, it is expensive. If you don't use a long-acting one, I suggest using a liquid growth hormone that is administered once a day. Each injection costs about 100. However, growth hormone must be administered under the guidance of a doctor, and there must be additional indications, otherwise the side effects can be significant.
