Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child's weight seems much higher than other children, and she also seems to eat very without restraint. When I ask her to exercise, she's reluctant. I wonder: How should pediatric obesity be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents need to control their child's diet and increase their physical activity. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing hills and swimming can be beneficial. During this period, children should be encouraged to eat more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. High-calorie and high-fat foods like cakes, nuts, and cookies should be avoided. Additionally, it's essential to change the child's habit of disliking exercise, as this can lead to fat accumulation. During obesity treatment, parents should tailor the treatment to the child's specific situation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to visit a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
