Patient's question:
Girl, currently 5 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's, and she also seems to eat without restraint. Additionally, she doesn't like to exercise. I am asking: How should pediatric obesity and laziness be treated?Doctor's answer:
A child has developed obesity. Parents should alleviate the symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. Swimming, jogging, and other activities should be arranged within the child's tolerance level. In terms of diet, the child should consume more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc. Fried foods and dried fruits should be strictly avoided, as they are high in empty calories and fat. Additionally, the child's habit of disliking exercise must be corrected, otherwise, it can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment period, parents should closely monitor the child's condition. If the situation is severe, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, and there should be no blind treatment.
