Height

Question

Salam 
Respected Doctors ,
My son is 12 years old  and his height is 5&rdquo;4 . I&rsquo;m a bit concerned about his growth . He&rsquo;s active and sporty , has a good diet . My husband is 5&rdquo;10 . I googled and found out that lack of vit D can cause delay in height . Is it true ? If so then what&rsquo;s the best supplement that I can give him . 
Thanks in advance

Give him seven seas fish oil for vitamin D.

Height of the child is influenced by both parents so I also need to know your height? Also height increases till age 18. You should keep his intake of calcium and vitamin D adequate. Give milk, nuts, fish oil supplements regularly.

Dr. Rd Sabahat Zubair · Answer

no need to be so much worried.
He can gain more height by the age 20.
And about your research not only vit D.deficiency there are some other reasons that can cause delayed growth.
