Patient's question:
The child is 7 years old this year, but his height is 102 cm, and his weight is 20.5 kg. He eats dinner normally, but recently he has been complaining that his calves are so sore and tired. He has also been taking calcium supplements as usual, but it's very worrying.What kind of help is needed: What should be done if the child has dwarfism?
Doctor's answer:
Height is influenced by factors such as hereditary elements, nutritional status, and lifestyle. Height-enhancing supplements may help alleviate height issues caused by nutritional deficiencies, such as calcium deficiency. If your growth plates have not yet fused, you may still have the potential to grow taller. The first is to pay attention to nutritional issues—ensure your diet includes sufficient calcium, vitamins, and more. Drink bone broth and eat more vegetables. The second is to maintain regular exercise, as adequate and consistent physical activity can significantly contribute to height improvement.
