The little girl's name is Xiaoya, and her parents are busy with work. Xiaoya used to live with her grandparents. Xiaoya's parents only see their children once or twice a year, so they neglect their daughter's growth. During the Spring Festival this year, Xiaoya's parents felt more and more wrong. Why is my daughter half a head shorter than her peers?
Xiaoya's parents quickly took their children to the hospital for examination. Without examination, they didn't know that Xiaoya was 6 years old and 4 months old, and his height was only 109cm, which was lower than 300% percentile and shorter than his peers. The present bone age is 4 years and 2 months, which is more than two years later than the actual age. The highest value of growth hormone challenge test is 5.2, which is partially missing, and the insulin-like growth factor 1 value 122 is also relatively low. Xiaoya's parents wanted to inject growth hormone into their children, but the little girl was afraid of the injection and never wanted to.
Xiaoya's father is 167 cm tall and his mother is 156 cm tall. The genetic height is not high, about 155cm. Xiaoya is currently behind her peers in height, but she has a small bone age, which is an advantage for her. Moreover, Xiaoya is still a premature baby, and the height foundation has not been laid well.
The little girl doesn't want an injection, and her parents don't want to force her. She also hopes to help Xiaoya grow taller in other ways. In fact, the lack of growth hormone depends not only on the peak value of stimulation test, but also on the growth rate of children's height, whether it is less than 5 cm per year. If the growth rate of Xiaoya's height is less than 2.5cm within half a year, it must be a taxi.
In the case of Xiaoya, Chinese medicine can be used to intervene and supplement aminobutyric acid, and then the intervention plan can be adjusted at any time according to the child's growth rate, including whether Chinese medicine is needed or not. It doesn't matter how long the child grows in a month. The key is to maintain a relatively balanced growth rate, so that children can continue to grow well, so that they will not play growth hormone.
After listening to my words, Xiaoya was glad to know that she didn't need an injection, although she had a little knowledge. Besides the height problem, I see that Xiaoya still has some flower moss, which shows that she can't digest it well. In addition, Xiaoya's mother said that she usually has a good appetite and likes to eat snacks, but her weight is low, indicating that her stomach is strong and her spleen is weak. No matter how much food such children eat, they will never gain weight. Poor absorption and nutrition will naturally affect growth.
When I asked Xiaoya's parents, the situation was as I expected. Grandparents love their granddaughter and give them whatever they want, which leads Xiaoya to eat snacks as a meal. I told Xiaoya that if you want to grow taller without an injection, you can't eat chocolate, potato chips, fried food and sweeter snacks in the future. Xiaoya pursed his mouth and nodded.
In order to regulate Xiaoya's spleen and stomach, I asked Xiaoya's parents to put a spleen and stomach sticker on her every night before going to bed. I also told Xiaoya's parents not to see their children thin, so they tried their best to supplement their nutrition. Xiaoya's height is not up to standard, but her bone age is too small. If her height grows too fast, it will affect the child's bone age, which will affect her height growth.
Many parents worry that their children lack calcium, vitamins and so on. So they immediately bought nutritional products in the market. Actually, it's totally unnecessary. How to supplement nutrition depends on the inspection data. Xiaoya has low vitamin D and bone mineral density, so it needs to be supplemented in daily life. When you stop taking medicine in the future, you should do it step by step, not at once.
Xiaoya has a bad spleen and stomach, so I told her parents to pay more attention to her diet. In spring, the temperature changes greatly, and some children have poor resistance, which is easy to get sick and has a long-term impact. The root of children's poor constitution lies in weakness of spleen and stomach. Coupled with strong liver and weak spleen in spring, children's digestive system is more susceptible to indigestion, constipation, diarrhea and other symptoms.
Strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach in spring, and pay attention to less acid and more sweetness in diet. Ganmuke spleen soil, spring liver fire will affect spleen soil, sour food will lead to liver qi, so eat less sour food, such as hawthorn, oranges and so on. Eat more sweets, such as sweet potato, chestnut, yam, lily, etc. At the same time, eat less spicy and irritating food to protect the yang.
