Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:It's just that she's tall, okay? Little. Children the same age as me, whether boys or girls, are generally a head taller than me. I feel like I must have some kind of growth problem.
Doctor's answer:
The main treatment for short stature is subcutaneous injection of growth hormone. Generally, a dose of 0.1 units per kilogram of body weight is required daily until bone healing is complete. The earlier the treatment begins, the better the results, with the first year of treatment being most effective, during which height can increase by more than 10 centimeters. As age progresses, the growth rate will gradually slow down. Thyroid function needs to be monitored during treatment with this medication. Children should be given appropriate amounts of protein and vitamin-rich foods, along with calcium supplements.
