Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old this year, has recently been observed to be much heavier than other children, and her appetite is also very large. She usually doesn't like to go out to play. I would like to ask: How should I treat a child who is obese and dislikes exercise?Doctor's answer:
Once a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first address the situation through exercise and diet. You can arrange aerobic exercises for the child, such as swimming or jogging, and encourage them to eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples, kiwis, and others. The child should not consume high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts, and should avoid overeating frequently, instead being encouraged to exercise more. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment and avoid.
