Patient's question:
Height: 84cm, Weight: 11.5kg. During the health check-up, the doctor said that both the height and weight were above the normal range and advised us to take the child to a large hospital for a thorough examination. Dad is 160cm tall, and Mom is 156cm tall. Currently, the child has symptoms such as being afraid to eat dinner, lack of meat, poor immunity, and bad breath.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment. What kind of help is needed:
1. Which department should be visited in a regular hospital? Is it necessary to have a urine test and check for trace elements?
Doctor's answer:
The height of children is mainly related to intergenerational genetic factors. If the parents are not tall, then the children are generally not exceptionally tall either. However, height can be appropriately increased through postnatal efforts. It is important not to be picky about food and to avoid a meat-centric diet. Instead, consume seasonal vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water. Moderately digest high-quality proteins like fish, shrimp, and eggs. Increase outdoor activity time to boost immunity. Appropriately supplement with vitamin D and calcium to promote bone growth. If necessary, have a thorough check-up for growth hormone. If there is a deficiency, medication may be required.
