Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. This year, I feel that my child is getting fatter. Also, he's been eating more recently and doesn't like to exercise. I ask: How should I treat pediatric obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for your child. Parents should supervise their child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming, and in terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc. It is essential to prohibit the child from consuming high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Additionally, do not let the child lie down and be inactive immediately after meals. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly go to the hospital to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
