Patient's question:
My son is in primary school this year. Compared to his peers, he is relatively short. He grew very slowly when he was young, and we have always been giving him digestive nutrition. Moreover, our height is above average, so we are very anxious now and want to consult a doctor about the reasons for his slow growth.Doctor's answer:
The reasons for a child's slow growth are relatively numerous, and it may be due to chromosomal abnormalities or skeletal diseases, both of which could cause this situation. If there is a significant difference compared to children of the same age, it is still necessary to promptly go to the hospital for relevant and thorough examinations, followed by symptomatic treatment. It is important not to delay the child's transformation and growth and development. Daily dietary intake should be properly balanced, and it is advisable to consume fewer snacks and junk foods.
