Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 6 years old this year, has become increasingly chubby in the past year. Moreover, her appetite is very large, and she doesn't like to go out to play during the day. Please ask: What should be the appropriate treatment for pediatric obesity who dislikes exercise.Doctor's answer:
The child has developed obesity. Parents should alleviate the symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. They can start by encouraging the child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging, hill climbing, or swimming. During this time, the child should be given vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green pea pudding. High-calorie and high-fat foods should be strictly prohibited, including cakes, nuts, and cookies. Additionally, the child should not be allowed to lie down motionless immediately after eating. If the child's obesity symptoms do not improve after following these methods, parents should promptly take the child to the hospital to investigate the underlying cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
