Patient's question:
Little girl, just 8 years old. In recent weeks, I've noticed that my child has a lot of flesh on her body and also has a very large appetite. She doesn't want to exercise when I ask her to. Please ask: How should obesity in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should address the situation through exercise and dietary changes. Activities such as swimming and hill climbing are very effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. Additionally, children should be encouraged to consume more high-fiber foods, such as spinach and carrots. They should avoid high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. It is also essential to break the habit of children disliking exercise, as this can easily lead to fat accumulation.During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should promptly take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment. Avoid.
