Patient's question:
The doctor is short in stature and not lacking in flesh; he eats everything but in small amounts and remains quite thin. At what should the child be checked if he is two years old and short in stature?Doctor's answer:
A two-year-old child is approximately 83 to 100 centimeters tall and has normal low growth. Proper dietary balance should be maintained, avoiding picky eating. It is recommended to consume more calcium-rich foods and get plenty of sunlight. You can consult the endocrinology department at the hospital for a pituitary examination. For severely short-stature patients, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
