Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter, and she's also become hungrier lately. Additionally, she's very lazy. Please advise: How can I effectively treat pediatric obesity, especially when the child loves to eat meat?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their exercise and control their diet to improve the symptoms. Encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and similar foods, while avoiding high-calorie and high-fat foods like cakes, nuts, and cookies. Help the child correct habits of being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment, parents should closely monitor the child's condition. In severe cases, medical treatment under a doctor's guidance is necessary. Do not attempt to treat the condition blindly.
