Patient's question:
The child is 6 and a half years old and has precocious puberty due to taking health supplements. They are 124 cm tall and weigh 48 pounds. In September, there was some development in the right breast, and the bone age is 1.5 years older than chronological age. The right ovary measures 0.5 cm, and the left ovary measures 0.2 cm. After exercising for over a month, they noticed that the breast growth had stopped. Due to the cold, they haven’t exercised recently. Last week, when they took a bath, they felt that the breast had grown a bit more. A blood test was done, and the doctor prescribed Zhibai Dihuang Wan. Is this medicine effective? The child hardly drinks any soda and eats very few snacks. I don’t know what to do next…Doctor's answer:
Children and adolescents are generally not recommended to take health supplements, a balanced diet is sufficient, with meat and vegetables well-proportioned and not lacking in meat. You can appropriately eat more calcium-rich foods. For now, you can try taking this medicine. Although the child does not drink beverages or eat snacks, the child's weight is not light, and obese children are also prone to early puberty again. Although outdoor activities are not possible, indoor exercises can be done. The diet should include less greasy food.
