Patient's question:
Female baby, just 3 years old, recently in the past few weeks, noticed that the child is getting fatter and fatter, and recently she is becoming hungrier and hungrier. She doesn't like to go out to play usually. I wonder: How should the treatment for child obesity be carried out?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change their symptoms by increasing physical activity and controlling their diet. Encourage the child to engage in exercises suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. High-fiber vegetables like (gourd) and (tomato) should be consumed more frequently. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from eating high-calorie foods like cake and chestnuts. Help the child correct habits such as being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if parents notice a severe condition in their child, they should promptly take them to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
