Patient's question:
The son is 8 years old this year. But his height is only a little over 1 meter. He is more than ten centimeters shorter than his peers. The whole family is very anxious, afraid he won't grow taller. Some people say that height increase in children is divided into age stages. In some age stages, height grows especially fast. What is the best age for children to grow taller?Doctor's answer:
Hello. This friend. Personally, I don't recommend giving children height-increasing medications to avoid any adverse effects on them. As long as you grasp the period of growth and development and meet the child's nutritional needs in a timely manner, they will grow taller. During this stage, outdoor exercise, drinking more water, and supplementing various trace elements are important. Cultivate a good eating habit and avoid junk food.
