What if the baby is not tall?
Whether a child is tall or not is a matter of growth and development. Let's analyze whether its nutrition can keep up. If the child is short, thin and small, can't eat a few mouthfuls every day and has a bad appetite, it is necessary to change the nutritional status and need to go to a professional growth and development clinic for evaluation. At present, many pediatric clinics have special growth and development clinics, and the treatment for growth and development disorders is mainly from the following aspects:

1, if the child is not tall, we should first assess whether he can eat reasonably, whether his nutritional status is deficient in vitamins and zinc, and whether he eats very little;

2. If the child is really short, the primary short stature is growth hormone deficiency. Check blood vitamins, hormone levels and other indicators to see if the growth hormone secreted by the body is not enough, and do magnetic resonance to see if the pituitary gland has dysfunction, so as to determine whether there is primary growth hormone deficiency. If there is, you need to inject growth hormone to solve it;

3. Growth and development obstacles caused by secondary factors. In addition to poor growth and development, this child has other diseases, such as common congenital heart disease, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, huge ventricular septal defect and frequent pneumonia. The child needs to solve the problem of congenital heart disease before he can solve the problem of growth and development;

4. There are also metabolic diseases, that is, in addition to poor growth and development, poor intelligence, or heart problems and brain problems, such children often suggest that there is a problem with metabolism. We need to see what kind of metabolic disease it is and correct metabolic disorder to solve the problem of growth and development.

In a word, the height problem of children is a comprehensive problem, which needs a professional child growth and development doctor to make a decision after professional evaluation, rather than a problem that can be solved by himself.
