Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. In this year, I noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter and fatter. Additionally, he seems to be eating particularly without restraint and doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should obesity and lack of exercise in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To help children reduce the symptoms of obesity, it's important to arrange reasonable exercise and diet for them. Activities like swimming and hill climbing, which involve swimming, have a very positive effect on obesity symptoms. Children should be encouraged to eat more fruits and vegetables such as apples, kiwis, and carrots. Foods high in calories, like cakes and macadamia nuts, should be avoided. Additionally, it's crucial to help children break the habit of disliking exercise, as this can lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if a child's condition worsens, parents should seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
