Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old this year. In this year, I feel that he is getting fatter and fatter. At the same time, he seems to be eating particularly uncontrollably. He doesn't like to go out to play often. Please ask: How should we treat pediatric obesity and excessive meat consumption for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
The child is experiencing obesity. Parents should alleviate his symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. They can start by gradually increasing the intensity of exercise for the child, such as jogging. For example, the child can jog half a lap more each time during exercise. Additionally, parents should encourage the child to eat more high-fiber foods, such as spinach and carrots. It is crucial to avoid letting the child consume high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and cola. Parents should also address the child's unwillingness to exercise and selective eating habits in daily life. If the child's condition worsens during the treatment for pediatric obesity, parents should seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
