Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Good high protein diet.
Adequate physical activity.
These two are the important points to get the desired growth in children.
Medications to be avoided in a health child.
If the child has achieved the median height of parents then it is labelled as normal growth.
Unrealistic expectations not to be encouraged.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
