Patient's question:
Male baby, already 2 years old. In this year, I found that the child seems to be getting fatter and fatter. Additionally, it seems to eat without restraint. Usually, he doesn't like to play outside. Please ask: How should I treat pediatric obesity and a lack of exercise?Doctor's answer:
Once a child suffers from obesity, parents should first address the situation through exercise and diet. Arrange activities like swimming and jogging for the child within their tolerance level. Eat more high-fiber vegetables such as winter melon and tomatoes. Avoid fried foods and dried fruits for the child, as these are high in empty calories and fat. Additionally, help the child correct unhealthy habits, such as being inactive after meals and being picky about food. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a formal hospital for targeted treatment, rather than pursuing blind treatment.
