Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. This year, I have observed that he is getting fatter and is eating more recently. He has also become particularly lazy. Please ask: How can we treat child obesity and lack of exercise?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control their child's diet and increase their physical activity. Swimming and hill climbing, for example, are excellent sports for reducing obesity symptoms. In terms of diet, children should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and other vegetables, while avoiding high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Additionally, it's crucial to break the child's habit of disliking exercise, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of obesity in children, if the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms, parents should promptly take their child to the hospital to identify the underlying cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
