Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old, has recently noticed that she seems to be getting fatter. At the same time, she eats more food than most children and doesn't like to exercise. I'd like to ask: How can we effectively treat pediatric obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents need to control the child's diet and increase their physical activity. Parents should supervise the child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. Vegetables rich in dietary fiber, such as winter melon and tomatoes, should be consumed in abundance. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from eating high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Moreover, parents should help the child correct bad habits, such as being inactive after meals and picky eating. During the treatment for obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is necessary to take them to a reputable hospital for treatment.
