As a TCM practitioner in the Child Growth and Development Clinic, I have been exposed to too many cases of children who do not grow tall. Every parent who comes to the clinic is full of sadness, and it is relatively late when they find out, so there will be no major changes in the child's future development.
I would like to share with you a case I saw today, hoping that through the situation of this child, more parents can pay attention to the growth and development of their children, and try to achieve early detection and early intervention.
Outpatient Medical Case:
Half a year ago, my mother brought her child to see me, and the child was 7 years old at the time, a boy, 113 cm tall, and basically weighed 20 kg. Various indicators show that the child is already short stature, and the examination of the child's bone age shows that the child's bone age is two years younger, and it is still possible to continue to chase high. When she learned that the child's genetic height was about 170 cm, the child's mother was very worried and sad. Because the child's ideal is a navy, a height of 1.7 meters will limit the child's ideals.
Later, my mother found me through a friend's introduction and said that she hoped that I could use the methods of traditional Chinese medicine to help my child grow taller. After reading the child's bone age film and checklist, I told my mother to reassure her, because the various data of the film show that the child's genetics are not bad, not bad, and with hard work, the child still has a chance to grow to 175.
Child's Condition:
Picky eater is serious, the things he likes to eat can be eaten violently, and the children are particularly easy to accumulate food and have bad breath; the stool is dry and difficult to pass, often 2-3 days before pulling one; sleep is unstable at night, often tossed and turned, and sweating. And the child's temper is very big, and it is very easy to get angry when there is a little dissatisfaction. Children also don't like sports, their physical fitness is very poor, they are prone to illness, and they are constantly suffering from minor illnesses.
Based on these conditions of the child, combined with the syndrome differentiation of the child's tongue coating, I diagnosed the child as growth retardation
I'll prescribe it to him:
Pseudostellaria ginseng, fried atractylodes, poria cocos, fried white peony, Chuanxiong, Sichuan hyssop, wine yellow essence, yam, fried bone crush, wheat winter, chicken gold, bergamot and other traditional Chinese medicine (one person, dialectical addition and subtraction according to the specific situation of the child), help regulate the child's spleen and stomach, strengthen the spleen and help luck, promote digestion and absorption, and explain to parents that the child must fall asleep before 10 o'clock in the evening, because 10:00 p.m. - 2 a.m:00 is the peak period of growth hormone secretion, which can reach about 2 times of the usual, in addition, explain to parents to urge their children to exercise more, so that children can develop the Xi habit of loving sports, mainly do bouncing sports and improve children's diet and Xi habits, so that the nutrition is balanced every day, and the high-quality protein of meat, eggs and milk is enough!
Outcome:
Insist on conditioning for 3 months, the child has grown 3 cm taller, 3 pounds fat, to the 12th of last week just half a year, the child finally grew 7 cm taller, can eat and sleep, digestion and absorption have become better, there is almost no food accumulation, constipation phenomenon, the most important thing is that the child is only sick once in half a year, the physique is much better!
