Does a 4-year-old boy who is only 97 cm tall need treatment?

Patient's question:

Dad is 170 cm tall, and Mom is 155 cm tall. Since November 26, 2010, she has been almost 4 years old and is only 96 cm tall. Does she need treatment? When she was 2 years old, the doctor prescribed L-Arginine granules, but she hasn't taken any medication since then. She often catches colds in the spring, but she is fine in other seasons. Should she be treated, and what medication would be best?

Doctor's answer:

Consider if it is caused by calcium deficiency. You can check for trace elements. You can take fish oil orally to supplement vitamin D, and add appropriate calcium supplements. Make sure to get enough sunlight regularly to promote calcium absorption. It will gradually improve. Wish the baby healthy growth.
