What should I do about my child's dwarfism?

Patient's question:

How much help is needed for something 1.5 cm long: We, the common people, don't understand. Can hormones be used? Do they have negative effects on the human body? Why does the country pay attention to this thing, after all, the price is very high.

Doctor's answer:

Children who are taller than the 3rd percentile or two standard deviations of the height standard for normal children of the same age, gender, region, and ethnicity can be diagnosed with short stature. It is recommended to use hormones as little as possible to treat short stature in children, as hormones have certain negative effects on the body, especially on children. It is suggested to use other complementary treatments, such as acupuncture and dietary therapy. Additionally, physical exercise should be strengthened to promote growth.
