Patient's question:
The child is 14 years old, a boy, and his teeth have not fully replaced. His height is only 1.48 meters. The parents are very anxious. They once visited Shanxi Children's Hospital, where it was said that his lead content was high. He took lead-extracting oral liquids, but tests showed he was not deficient in trace elements. Both parents are 1.7 meters tall, and their older daughter is 1.71 meters tall. What should they do about their son's short stature?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is likely caused by a lack of calcium or trace elements. You can get tested to check, and it's a good idea to supplement with calcium appropriately. Additionally, you can take Schiff Calcium and fish oil for treatment. Make sure to get adequate rest and ensure a well-rounded increase in nutrition.
