Question
Last week, a parent brought their child to Chengdu Children’s Hospital for a check-up, where it was revealed that the child had pediatric obesity. The doctor recommended treatment. The parent is concerned about whether the child will relapse after treatment and how to prevent it.
Answer
For pediatric obesity, it is first necessary to rule out the possibility of genetic abnormalities or congenital obesity. If the child is overweight, they should regularly visit the hospital for follow-up. In terms of treatment, on one hand, dietary control should be used to limit energy intake, and on the other hand, children should be encouraged to engage in moderate exercise. In daily life, it is important to increase activity levels and conduct regular health checks.
