Thanks for the query.
If a specific disease has been determined, certain treatment options may be available to increase the child’s final height. Growth problems due to endocrine disorders like hypothyroidism may be treated with thyroid replacement pills. Growth hormone injections may be provided to children with a growth hormone deficiency or Turner syndrome.
If there is no specific etiology then you just try to talk with your child as much as possible, get him socially invovled.
Some physiotherapy exercises may help.
Hope i help you.
