Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 5 years old. In recent weeks, I feel that my child has gained a lot of weight, and she has been eating more and more recently. She doesn't like to play outside often. I would like to ask: How should pediatric obesity and overweight be treated?Doctor's answer:
Children may develop obesity. Parents should alleviate their symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. Activities like swimming and climbing slopes are very effective for reducing obesity symptoms. Vegetables with high fiber, such as winter melon and tomatoes, should be consumed more often. Avoid giving children fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Help children change their habits of not being active after meals or overeating. During the treatment of obesity in children, if the above methods do not alleviate their symptoms, it is important to go to the hospital in time to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
