Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. This year, I feel that my child's weight is much heavier than other children. Additionally, he eats more food than average children. He likes to lie down after finishing his meal. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric obesity and overweight?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should change their current condition through exercise and dietary adjustments. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are beneficial. During this period, children should be given vegetables that are helpful in improving obesity, such as winter melon and green bean paste. Avoid letting them eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Additionally, parents must break the child's habit of disliking exercise, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. While treating pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment rather than.
