Early diagnosis and treatment is the key When you find that your child is shorter than children of the same age, do not think that your child is late in development, but go to a professional hospital for examination in time. Once your child’s epiphysis is closed, there is no other possibility to increase the height of your child. The best time to treat growth hormone is during the plateau period of your child’s growth, and the younger your child is during this period, the better the treatment effect and the greater the growth potential; in addition, since the dosage of growth hormone is related to the weight, the earlier the treatment, the smaller the dosage and the lighter the financial burden for you. The problems that parents of short statured children should pay attention to in their daily life Scientific height increase for children should start from reasonable nutrition, appropriate amount of exercise and sufficient sleep. Eat more vegetables, milk, steak and other foods to ensure adequate nutrition; participate in more sports such as jumping rope, swimming, playing basketball, jogging and climbing stairs; ensure adequate sleep. Parents should avoid misconceptions after finding out that their children are short 1. Parents blindly wait: Some parents think that “23 years old is still jumping up and down”, there is no hurry for children to be short, there is a difference between early and late growth, when it is found that the child really does not grow, then it is too late to go to the hospital, the child may be older or the epiphysis has closed, losing the best time to grow taller. 2. Parents blindly listen to the propaganda of height increasing products in the market, without knowing their pharmacological effects, they choose and take the so-called height increasing drugs in the market, and only when the effect is not good do they seek medical consultation from a specialist, which not only wastes money, but also accelerates the closure of the bones and misses the best time for treatment, which parents regret too much. 3, parents blindly consult: many parents do not know where to go to see the doctor, often to find some informal hospitals, non-specialist doctors, resulting in misdiagnosis and wrong medication, delaying the time, and even bring adverse consequences. Therefore, children with slow growth or short stature should go to a child growth and development specialist or a child endocrinologist at a large hospital for consultation and examination and timely treatment.
