Previous treatment history and effectiveness: What kind of help is expected from Chinese medicine regulation:

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is not yet very clear, but it may be pseudo-precocious puberty, as the possibility of pseudo-precocious puberty is currently very high. Oral traditional Chinese medicine can be considered, and regular follow-up is recommended.
Guidance: It is recommended to check adrenal function, perform an ultrasound, and assess thyroid function. If necessary, consider the GnRH stimulation test. Even if you don’t do it temporarily, regular reviews are still necessary. Pseudo-precocious puberty can become true at any time. I wish you a speedy recovery.
The above suggestions are for the question of "whether the child is precocious." I hope they are helpful to you and wish you good health.
