Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 4 years old. Recently, I've noticed that she's getting fatter and eating more. She's also become quite lazy. I'm asking: How should pediatric obesity be treated?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first establishing an exercise routine and modifying the diet. You can arrange aerobic activities for the child, such as swimming or jogging, and encourage them to eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. High-calorie foods like biscuits, macadamia nuts, and small cakes should be avoided. Additionally, avoid letting the child overeat excessively and encourage them to engage in more physical activity. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the child's condition worsens, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
