Question
My daughter is 1 year old, and I’ve recently noticed that she seems to be getting heavier and has an extremely large appetite. She usually doesn’t like to eat, so how should I treat her obesity problem?
Answer
If you notice that your child has pediatric obesity, the first step should be to arrange their exercise and healthy diet carefully. You can let your child engage in some aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing hills, swimming, etc. Incorporate high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes into their diet, and avoid giving them high-calorie and high-fat foods like hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Strictly control your child’s diet and avoid overeating. Increasing exercise is beneficial for improving your child’s obesity. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if symptoms are severe, it is important to take your child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment to avoid blind treatment.
