Patient's question:
My male baby, who is 2 years old this year, has been observed that he is getting fatter and eating more recently. He likes to lie down after meals. How should the treatment for pediatric obesity and lack of exercise be improved?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, they can first be encouraged to increase their physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. Let the child engage in exercises suitable for their age, such as swimming or jogging, and eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Fried foods and dried fruits should be strictly avoided, as they are high in calories and fat. Strictly control the child's diet and avoid overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing child obesity. During the treatment for obesity, parents should provide reasonable care based on the child's condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to visit a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
