Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. This year, I have observed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's, and his appetite is very large. He is also particularly lazy. I would like to ask: How should pediatric obesity and a lack of exercise be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, you can first help them increase their physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. You can start by gradually increasing the intensity of exercise, such as jogging, by having them run half a lap more each time. Vegetables like carrots and spinach are also helpful in addressing obesity. Foods high in calories, such as cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should be avoided. Additionally, children should not be allowed to sleep immediately after eating or lounging on the sofa while snacking. If a child's condition is severe during the treatment for obesity, it is essential to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
