Patient's question:
Boy, just 3 years old. Recently, I found that my child's weight is much higher than other children's, and it seems he also eats excessively. He doesn't like to play outside often. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity and overweight be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting appropriate exercise levels and modifying the diet. You can arrange aerobic activities for the child, such as swimming or jogging. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and similar foods, while avoiding high-fat items like fried chicken and cakes. It's also important not to let the child overeat frequently and encourage more physical activity. During obesity treatment, parents should tailor the approach to the child's specific condition. If the condition is severe, it's essential to visit a hospital to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
