Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. Lately, for the past few weeks, I've noticed that she seems to be getting fatter, and she also eats a lot. She doesn't really like to go out to play as usual. I'd like to ask: If a child is obese, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has childhood obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. You can start by letting them engage in aerobic exercises, such as jogging, hill climbing, swimming, etc. Vegetables high in fiber, like (bitter gourd) and tomatoes, should be eaten more frequently. Avoid letting your child consume high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Strictly control your child's diet to prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing childhood obesity. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take your child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment. Avoid (blind treatment).
