Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. This year, I feel that my child's weight is much heavier than other children's, and she also eats more food than average children. She usually doesn't like to go out to play. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity and overweight be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase the child's physical activity and control their diet to improve the symptoms. Encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming or jogging, and eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Avoid letting the child consume high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, french fries, and cookies. Additionally, help the child correct bad habits, like being inactive after meals or being picky about food. It is important to remind parents that if their child's condition worsens during treatment, they should take them to the hospital to diagnose the condition and receive targeted treatment.
