Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 4 years old. In recent weeks, I've noticed that my child has a lot of flesh and eats more food than other children. Usually, she doesn't like to go out to play. I'm asking: How should child obesity be treated?Doctor's answer:
For children with noticeable symptoms of pediatric obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more physical activity and avoid picky eating. Arrange activities such as swimming and jogging within the child's capacity. High-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes should be consumed more frequently. Children should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. Additionally, avoid letting them lie down motionless immediately after meals. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should promptly take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment, avoiding treatment.
