What is causing my daughter's stunted growth?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Many possibilities: There are far too many potential causes for poor growth in children to effectively review in this forum, but can generally be classified in nutritional, hormonal, genetic, infectious, autoimmune, hematologic and neoplastic categories. Her primary care physician can initiate the evaluation and refer appropriately.

Hard to say: This can only be answered with a proper history, exam and testing done by a physician skilled with such evaluations. Some pediatricians can find basic problems, but a referral to a pediatric endocrinologist and or geneticist may be appropriate.
