Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is just over 2 years old and I’ve noticed that she is overweight, with a higher than average appetite and a lack of interest in physical activity. How should I treat pediatric obesity and lethargy?
Answer
To improve your child’s obesity symptoms, it’s essential to arrange for a balanced diet and regular exercise. We suggest engaging in aerobic activities like jogging, climbing hills, swimming, etc., increasing the intake of high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots, and avoiding fried foods and high-calorie, high-fat foods. Also, prevent your child from eating immediately after meals or lying on the sofa to snack. In cases of severe obesity symptoms, it’s important to seek medical treatment promptly and avoid using medication without guidance.
