Patient: My son is 6.5 years old and very smart, but he has always been shorter than children of his age, I am 1.65m tall and my beloved is 1.58m, my son weighed 2.3kg at birth, I wonder if there is something wrong with the child’s development or maybe he is deficient in some trace elements? My son also recently said that his legs are occasionally weak and painful, and that he sometimes has trouble walking after going to school.
There are many reasons for short stature, mainly the following: 1, genetic factors, such as short parents of familial short stature 2, some metabolic diseases caused by short stature 3, the mother’s intrauterine development disorders during pregnancy less than gestational age children 4, nutrition, sleep, environmental factors 5, long-term illness 6, psychological factors You mentioned that the child’s parents are not tall, low birth weight, which can affect the child’s height, if this is not If there is no particularly effective drug treatment, the height of the child can be increased by increasing nutrition and physical exercise.
You mentioned that your child has leg pain and weakness, we suggest you check the blood calcium, blood phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase to help diagnose.
