Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating more. He doesn't like to play outside as much lately. Please ask: How should obesity in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and not be picky about food. You can arrange aerobic exercises like swimming or jogging for the child, and encourage them to eat more vegetables, such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Foods high in calories, like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should not be given to the child. Additionally, avoid letting them lie down motionless after eating. If the child's condition is severe during the treatment for childhood obesity, parents should take them to the hospital promptly for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
