Is a 4-year-old and 2-month-old girl who is 98 cm tall very short?

Patient's question:

Full-term baby, good physical condition, also very intelligent, picky eater. Father is 178 cm tall, mother is 152 cm tall.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to check for trace element supplementation of calcium, iron, and zinc, and to consume a high-protein diet. There is no need for special treatment as long as the child is doing well in all aspects. We should closely monitor the changes in the condition, pay attention to the child's cough and body temperature. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, it is best to complete it with the cooperation of a doctor. If Mycoplasma positive is found in newborn pneumonia patients, it must be diagnosed and treated by a doctor, and discharge is temporarily not possible. For a 18-day-old breastfed baby, if breastfeeding is required, consider jaundice caused by breastfeeding. It is recommended to drink more boiled water and eat Yin Zhi Huang to relieve jaundice.
