Question
A boy, just turned 4, has an extremely strong appetite at home but rarely exercises. How should obesity be treated in this case?
Answer
If a child is found to have pediatric obesity, the first step should be to arrange their exercise and healthy diet appropriately. For example, swimming and climbing hills can have a good effect on obesity symptoms. Feed them apples, kiwis, carrots, and avoid giving them high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. Help improve their habits of not liking to exercise or overeating. If the above methods do not alleviate symptoms in the treatment of obesity, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid the condition worsening.
