Hi doctor,Following is the growth hormone test report of my son aged 11 years and 7 months and his height is about 129 cm and weight is 32 kg. I am very concerned about his growth. Please comment in detail about the possible treatment and their side effects, if any?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I just read your report about your son and I am sorry to say that he has a growth hormone deficiency (attachment removed to protect patient identity). He needs to take growth hormone injections for it. These are to be taken on a proper prescription from a pediatric endocrinologist in your place. These are to be taken daily. The side effects are listed here like peripheral edema, edema, arthralgia, paresthesia, skeletal pain, flu-like symptoms, rhinitis, pain, hypertension, gastrointestinal side effects.
