Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old, this year, I feel that my child is getting fatter and eating more food than ordinary children, and he is also very lazy. Please ask: How should the treatment for childhood obesity be carried out.Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. Parents should supervise their child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods, such as spinach and carrots. High-calorie, high-fat foods should be avoided, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Additionally, it is essential to break the habit of disliking exercise, as this can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's symptoms are severe, it is crucial to seek medical treatment promptly and not blindly trust certain medications.
