Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. Recently, I noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter and can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. He is also particularly lazy. Please ask: How should we treat a child who is obese and does not like to exercise to be most effective.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents need to change the current situation through exercise and dietary changes. Parents should supervise the child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming, and encourage them to eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. The child should not consume high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts. Strictly control the child's diet and avoid overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing childhood obesity. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the child's symptoms are severe, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly. Do not blindly trust certain medications.
