Patient's question:
My little girl, who is one year old, has recently become increasingly plump. Additionally, she can eat several bowls of food in one meal and prefers to lie down after eating. I would like to ask: What is the most effective way to treat pediatric obesity and lethargy?Doctor's answer:
If a child has obesity, parents should first change their symptoms through exercise and control. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises within the child's tolerance. Give the child more foods like apples, kiwis, carrots, etc., and avoid high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts, cookies, etc. Strictly control the child's diet and prevent overeating. More exercise is beneficial for reducing childhood obesity. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's obesity symptoms are severe, they should seek medical treatment promptly. Do not blindly trust certain medications.
