Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating a lot more. He doesn't like to play outside often. Please ask: What should I do if my child is obese and doesn't like to exercise?Doctor's answer:
Children may suffer from obesity. Parents should alleviate their symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. For pediatric obesity, aerobic exercises such as climbing hills and swimming are suitable. During this period, children should be encouraged to eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and pea pudding. Avoid giving children high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Help children correct habits such as being inactive after eating or overeating. If, during the treatment of pediatric obesity, parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly take the child to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
