Patient's question:
My child is 11 years and 10 months old. The check-up results show that they have started to develop, but their height is only 143 cm, and their bone age is less than 10 and a half years old. How much more room do they have to grow taller?Doctor's answer:
The condition of your child at home and the bone age test results show that the child's development is normal, not a symptom of precocious puberty, and they can still grow taller, so there is no need to worry. For your child's condition, it is important to maintain a regular lifestyle, participate in appropriate physical exercise, follow a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, and minimize the intake of greasy, spicy, and irritating foods, which will help with normal physical development.Hair refers to pubic hair, armpit hair, and facial hair.
