Brief Answer:
need basic clarification
Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting with your health concern and after reviewing your health query I'm of the following opinion:
1. You haven't mentioned about her height according to her present age (4.5 years)??
2. At her age possible causes are :
- hereditary (present): as mother/father is also of short height.
- hormonal: is there any endocrinal problem
noticed or any Endocrinologist opinion taken?
3. Is her nutritional status proper or suffering from any digestion issues (malabsorption)?
4. It is upto your attending Paediatrician to assess her short height in relation to weight and limb length and only then decide whether it requires medical management or not, since children born to parents with short stature are perfectly normal.
5. Please revert back with above questionnaires so that we can progress further for the dietary regime and Yogic (stretching) Exercises/ Pranayama which one can incorporate into her daily activities.
