Question
My son is 2 years old, and recently, his symptoms of obesity have been worsening. His appetite is uncontrollable, and his movements have become lazy. How should pediatric obesity be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
To improve a child’s obesity symptoms, it’s important to arrange their exercise and diet properly. For example, swimming and climbing hills can have a good effect on obesity. In terms of diet, you can increase the intake of foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis, while avoiding high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Additionally, help your child change their habits of not being active or overeating. During treatment, parents need to keep a close eye on their child’s condition. In severe cases, treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor, and one should not treat blindly.
