Patient's question:
My child is currently in puberty, a time for physical development. He has always been a bit shorter than other children. Now that he's in puberty, I hope he can grow taller now. Otherwise, he might not grow any taller later. How can I help my child grow taller?Doctor's answer:
Minors can do more stretching exercises, which are beneficial for height growth. Examples include high jump, horizontal bar, jump rope, volleyball, and basketball. Eat more calcium-rich foods, such as soy products, fish and shrimp, bone broth, sesame paste, and milk, which are beneficial for promoting height development. Avoid eating cold and raw foods during this period to prevent stomach and spleen dysfunction, which may cause discomfort and affect nutrient intake. Do not catch a cold during this period.
