How should children with obesity be treated appropriately?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 3 years old. This year, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children, and at the same time, she seems to eat without restraint. She likes to lie down after meals. Please ask: How should obesity in children be treated properly?

Doctor's answer:

Children suffer from obesity. Parents should alleviate their symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. Encourage children to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. Give them more fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots, and avoid high-fat foods such as fried chicken and cakes. Help children change their habits of being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment. Do not engage in treatment.
