Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 3 years old. In recent weeks, I have observed that my child has a lot of flesh and eats more food than average children. She usually dislikes going out to play. I would like to ask: How should pediatric obesity and overweight be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change their symptoms by increasing their exercise and controlling their diet. Aerobic exercises such as swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. During this period, the child should be encouraged to eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. High-calorie, high-fat foods should be strictly avoided, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. The child's diet must be strictly controlled to prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing childhood obesity. If the child's obesity symptoms are severe during treatment, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly and not blindly trust certain medications.
