Patient's question:
I feel like the child is very young and don't know what's going on. After undergoing many tests, it was found that it might be this disease. Could you please tell me at what age should children with dwarfism start receiving growth hormone treatment?Doctor's answer:
Children with short stature in China usually start treatment later, with 70% of cases occurring between the ages of 10-13, while in foreign countries, treatment for short-statured children typically begins at the age of 6. Using an electronic needle anesthesia pen can further reduce children's compliance with taking medication and alleviate their fear of anesthesia. Once a parent notices their child's symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the child's diet, recommending a light diet with less spicy or irritating food. It is hoped that the child can receive targeted treatment to aid in their recovery!
