Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old this year, and he is a boy. I noticed that since he turned three, his height hasn't changed at all. Watching other children grow and transform rapidly, as parents, we feel very anxious. I want to ask the doctor if my child might have short stature syndrome? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
In the case of your child, you can choose to take them to the pediatric department for a check-up immediately to clarify the reason for their lack of height, and then implement targeted treatment. It is essential to ensure your child consumes more lean meat, eggs, and fish, and to drink plenty of milk. Appropriate calcium supplementation should also be provided to ensure your child receives sufficient nutrition, which will help them grow taller. When caring for your child, parents should be patient. If any discomfort is noticed, it is important to take them to the hospital for a thorough examination promptly.
