Patient's question:
Female baby, just 9 years old. Recently, I have observed that my child is getting fatter and eating a very large amount. She doesn't like to play outside as much as before. Please ask: How can pediatric obesity be treated?Doctor's answer:
Once a child develops obesity, parents should first change the situation through exercise and diet. Parents need to supervise the child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. During this period, let the child eat some vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green pea pudding. It is forbidden to let the child eat fried foods and dried fruit snacks, as these are high in dry calories and fat. Also, do not let the child lie down motionless after meals. During the treatment, parents should monitor the child's condition at all times. In severe cases, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, and do not blindly treat.
