Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What should I do if the child has dwarfism?Doctor's answer:
Confirming the correct growth target is essential for scientifically implementing treatment. Some parents or children with short stature may believe that it is impossible to grow taller, leading to a lack of expectations or disregarding factors such as intergenerational inheritance, and setting unrealistic growth goals. The treatment target for short stature should be: 1) maintaining normal growth rate, 2) achieving rapid growth during puberty, and 3) reaching the final adult height.
