Patient's question:
Boys, just 7 years old, recently, feel that, my child has a lot of flesh on their body, and, they eat more food than most children. They like to lie down after finishing a meal. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity be treated?Doctor's answer:
For children with noticeable symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more exercise and avoid picky eating. For pediatric obesity, aerobic exercises like hill climbing and swimming are beneficial. During this period, children should consume more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Children should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. Additionally, do not let children lie down motionless immediately after meals. If, during the treatment of pediatric obesity, parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly visit a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
