Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old. Recently, I have noticed that my child has a lot of meat on her body and also has a very large appetite. She doesn't really like to play outside. I would like to ask: How should I diagnose and treat child obesity and overweight?Doctor's answer:
If you find that your child has childhood obesity, you should first arrange reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for them. For childhood obesity, engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing and swimming. Also, encourage your child to eat more high-fiber foods, such as spinach and carrots. It is forbidden for children to eat fried foods and nuts, as these are high in empty calories and fat. Parents should correct their children's unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During obesity treatment, parents should provide reasonable treatment based on the child's condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to go to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
