It is recommended to consult the endocrinology department of a professional pediatric hospital for follow-up treatment. If growth hormone is needed, detailed examinations must be conducted before a decision can be made. There are multiple reasons that can lead to short stature, and specific treatment should be administered based on the cause. If short stature is caused by growth hormone deficiency, it can be treated with growth hormone. Insufficient nutrition requires dietary adjustments, and bone age should also be evaluated. In addition to hereditary factors, other factors should be considered. It is advised to enhance nutrition by consuming calcium-rich foods such as meat, eggs, dairy products, beans, vegetables, and fruits, avoiding picky eating and meat deficiency. Furthermore, regular exercise is beneficial for bone growth and development, and height is significantly influenced by hereditary factors.
