Patient's question:
Little girl, just 8 years old, this year, noticed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children's. At the same time, she has been eating more and more recently, and she doesn't want to exercise when asked. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity be treated to be most effective?Doctor's answer:
A child is experiencing obesity. Parents should alleviate the symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. Activities like swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. During this period, let the child consume vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green pea pudding. Avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods like burgers and fries, or cookies. Do not let the child eat and sleep right after meals or snack while lying on the sofa. If the child's condition worsens during the treatment for childhood obesity, parents should promptly take the child to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
