Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 1 year old. In recent weeks, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating a lot more. She's also become very lazy. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat childhood obesity?Doctor's answer:
Children with obesity can first alleviate symptoms by increasing physical activity and controlling their diet. Parents should supervise their children in doing aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. They should eat more high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes. High-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, nuts, and cookies should be prohibited. If children tend to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this bad habit. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's obesity symptoms are severe, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly. Do not blindly trust certain medications.
