Suggest Supplements To Promote Growth In A Child Having Allergy
Hi all, my son is allergic to eggs since 6mths. He is now 14yrs. & 7mths. and his height is 5ft. I am wondering if his allergy is causing a stunt in his growth, and if so, is there a supplement I can give him to help, as it is now causing him concern. Thanks.
Hi...it is very uncommon for allergy to be the cause for stunting. There are no supplements which can increase the height. If you feel none of the family members are so short and he is definitely lower than the height of his biological parents, then he needs endocrinologist evaluation and consultation.
