Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 6 years old this year, has been gaining weight more and more in recent weeks. She also eats more food than most children and prefers to lie down after meals. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric obesity?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control their child's diet and increase their physical activity. For child obesity, it is advisable to engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing or swimming. High-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes should be consumed more frequently. Avoid feeding children fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Parents should address their child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment of child obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
