Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 2 years old. Recently, I have noticed that her body is getting fatter, and she also eats more food than most children. Additionally, she doesn't like to be active. I am wondering: What is the most effective way to treat her obesity and weight gain?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control their child's diet and increase their physical activity. Encourage the child to engage in exercises suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. During this period, let the child eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. It is forbidden for the child to consume fried foods and dried fruits, as these are high in empty calories and fat. If the child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this unhealthy behavior. If the child's condition is severe during the treatment for pediatric obesity, parents should promptly take them to the hospital and seek medical guidance for proper treatment.
