Childhood obesity: How to diagnose and treat

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 7 years old, this year, found, my child has a lot of meat on her body, at the same time, she can eat several bowls of food in one meal, and she doesn't want to exercise when asked. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their exercise and control their diet to improve the symptoms. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises within the child's tolerance, and foods like carrots and spinach can also help reduce obesity. The child should not eat high-calorie foods such as cakes or macadamia nuts. Avoid bad habits like snacking in bed or lying down immediately after eating, as these can lead to fat accumulation. During treatment for obesity, if the above methods do not alleviate the child's symptoms, parents should promptly take them to the hospital to investigate the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
