Patient's question:
My child has dwarfism. They are already in high school. But their height is still like that of an elementary school student. It's a real concern, and it makes them feel very self-conscious. As parents, we don't know what to do or how to help. We are very worried about what kind of support would be best:Hello, what should we do about the child's dwarfism?
Doctor's answer:
Hello. To fully develop your height potential, you should eat more vegetables, high-protein foods, high-quality protein foods, and calcium-rich foods, as well as zinc-rich foods. This helps prevent picky eating. Ensure adequate rest time and quality. Engage in regular physical exercise. It is recommended to have a thorough examination of your growth plates at the hospital. If the growth plates are about to close but have not fully closed, growth hormone can be used in the short term.
