What if the products you use every day – your child’s lunchbox, the shampoo for their hair, or even the scent in your living room – could be quietly influencing their growth and development?

There are certain chemicals in items we use daily that can be quietly influencing our children's growth and development.

Come join us on 11th October!

The "Paediatric Growth and Nutrition CME 2025" which is organised by MPEDG/MEMS is a half day event aimed at paediatricians, medical officers, family medicine doctors to bring them up to date with commonly encountered paediatric growth issues.

Topics that will be covered by experts are: childhood obesity, how to evaluate, treat and start effective communication with our patients. Other topics are on detecting short stature in children and discerning what are pathological or normal variants and a clinical approach to short stature. The 3rd symposium is on nutrition during which topics on nutritional intervention and detecting red flags of undernutrition will be highlighted.

Poor growth, obesity and poor nutrition are all common issues that are faced by primary care and paediatricians, as such this CME aims to raise awareness on early detection of these conditions and implementing appropriate treatment.

Discussion on diabetes and obesity in children.

Meet Aisha 💡
Aisha is a 13-year-old girl who had been losing weight despite eating well. She was constantly hungry, restless, sweating more than usual and couldn’t sleep. Her hands were shaky, and she was having trouble focusing in school. Some thought it was just teen stress or mood swings.

Then one evening, Aisha developed severe palpitations, a racing heart, breathlessness, and high fever. She was rushed to the ER, and doctors diagnosed her with thyroid storm, a rare but life-threatening complication of severe hyperthyroidism.

She was stabilised in the ICU and later diagnosed with Graves’ disease, the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in children and teens.

✨ Graves’ disease can be tricky to spot early, as the signs are often mistaken for anxiety or puberty-related changes. But recognising the symptoms early can make all the difference.

Hyperthyroidism is not as common in children as adults, but it can potentially have life-threatening consequences if left untreated.
