Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 2 years old. In this year, I found that my child has a lot of meat on her body, and her appetite is very large. Also, she doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should I treat pediatric obesity and a lack of exercise?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start by addressing their exercise and diet. Encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for their age group, such as swimming and jogging. They should also consume more high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes. High-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, nuts, and cookies should be avoided. Parents should modify their child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During obesity treatment, parents should tailor the approach to the child's specific condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to seek medical attention to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
