Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. Recently, it has been observed that the child is getting fatter and her appetite is very large. Usually, she doesn't like to go out to play. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity and overweight be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body becomes overweight, parents should create a set of exercise plans and healthy diets for them. Parents need to supervise the child to engage in aerobic exercises like jogging and swimming, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. The child should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. In daily life, it's important not to let the child eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these unhealthy habits can also lead to fat accumulation. Parents should be reminded that during treatment, if the child's condition worsens, they must take the child to the hospital for proper diagnosis and targeted treatment.
