Seven and a half years old, has been eating dinner since childhood without any discomfort, just feels a bit stomach discomfort when eating too much. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No lab tests, detailed examination results: What kind of assistance is needed: Please help to speculate whether it is a disease

Doctor's answer:

Over 80 jin, the appearance is already quite chubby. It is recommended that the child engage in more activities and eat fewer snacks and high-sugar, high-calorie fast foods.
Advice: It is suggested that the child practice walking and standing with a strong emphasis on expanding the abdomen, coordinating with diaphragmatic breathing to strengthen the abdominal muscles. It is recommended to visit a hospital to check if the obesity is pathological. If it is, early treatment is necessary. If not, it is appropriate to moderately control the child's diet, but it should not be done abruptly. It should be done gradually.
