Patient's question:
Boy, he is 6 years old. Recently, I noticed that the child is getting fatter, and his appetite is very large. I call him to exercise, but he doesn't want to. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity be treated?Doctor's answer:
To help your child change the symptoms of obesity, it's important to arrange appropriate exercise and diet for them. You can start by increasing the intensity of their exercise, such as jogging, and gradually add more distance, like running half a circle at a time during their routine. Additionally, they should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. Children should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Also, don't let them sleep right after eating or snack while lying on the couch. If the child's condition is severe during the treatment for pediatric obesity, it's crucial for parents to take them to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
