Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. Recently, I've noticed that he is getting fatter and seems to eat without restraint. He also dislikes exercise. I would like to ask: How can pediatric obesity be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. You can plan aerobic exercises for your child, such as swimming or jogging, and encourage them to eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples, kiwis, etc. Your child should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. Parents should correct their child’s reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During obesity treatment, parents should tailor the treatment to the child’s specific condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to go to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
