Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. Recently, I found that she seems to be getting fatter and her appetite is very large. Even when I ask her to exercise, she doesn't want to. I ask: how should I treat a child who is obese and lazy?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should improve the current situation through exercise and dietary changes. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are beneficial. Additionally, vegetables like carrots and spinach are helpful in combating obesity. Avoid giving children fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Strictly control the child's diet and prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing childhood obesity. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's condition worsens, parents should seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
