Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. Recently, I have observed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's, and it seems she eats excessively as well. When I ask her to exercise, she is unwilling to do so. I would like to ask: How can obesity and overweight in children be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has childhood obesity, you should first arrange for appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. Parents need to supervise the child in doing aerobic exercises like jogging and swimming. During this period, let the child eat more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Make sure the child does not consume high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and cola. Parents should correct the child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. Throughout the treatment, parents should pay close attention to the child's condition at any time. If the situation is severe, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor and not through treatment.
