Patient's question:
Boy, he's already 3 years old. This year, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of food at one meal and is particularly lazy. I would like to ask: How should pediatric obesity and overweight be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start by addressing his exercise and diet. Activities like swimming and hill climbing are very effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. Foods such as carrots and spinach are also helpful in combating obesity. High-calorie foods like nuts and hamburgers should be avoided, and parents should help the child break the habit of being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's condition is severe, parents should promptly take them to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
