Patient's question:
Boys, already 6 years old, recently, I noticed that my child has a lot of flesh and eats more food than ordinary children. He likes to lie down after finishing his meal. Please ask: If a child is obese and dislikes exercise, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
For children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more physical activities and avoid picky eating. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises within the child's capacity. Foods like carrots and spinach are beneficial for weight management. Avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Additionally, don't let the child lie down motionless after meals. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Don't blindly trust certain medications.
