Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. How can I determine if my child has dwarfism?Doctor's answer:
Dwarfism has no obvious effects during the infant stage. It usually reappears as slow growth and development at the age of 1 to 2 years. Based on the symptoms of dwarfism, it can be inferred that patients with dwarfism may again exhibit congenital small ears, flattened nasal bridge, pale, and yellowish complexion. A small number of children may also experience unattractive appearances. Growth hormone tests can be performed on children at the age of one. When children are sick, never give them medication blindly.
