Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 3 years old. In this year, I found that her body is getting fatter, and she eats more than most children. She also doesn't like to exercise. May I ask: How should pediatric obesity be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Once a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change the situation through exercise and diet. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are suitable. Also, children should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach, carrots, and others. Foods high in calories like nuts and burgers should not be given to children. Moreover, the habit of not enjoying exercise must be changed, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the child's condition is severe, parents should promptly take them to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
