Patient's question:
Boys, already 8 years old. Recently, it has been observed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and his appetite is very large. When asked to exercise, he doesn't want to. I would like to ask: How should pediatric obesity and overweight be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change their symptoms by increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet. Parents can encourage the child to engage in exercises that are beneficial for weight loss, such as jogging or swimming. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and other healthy foods. It is crucial not to let the child consume high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, or cola. Parents should also address the child’s reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should promptly take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment and avoid.
