Patient's question:
My boy, he is 6 years old this year. This year, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and is also eating more recently. I call him to exercise, but he is unwilling. I would like to ask: how can I treat a child who is obese and dislikes exercise to achieve the best effect.Doctor's answer:
A child has developed a case of obesity. Parents should alleviate his symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. The child should be encouraged to engage in physical activities suitable for his age, such as swimming and jogging, and consume more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. It is crucial not to let the child indulge in high-calorie foods such as cakes, chips, and cola. Additionally, the child should not go to sleep immediately after eating or snack while lying on the sofa. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly take the child to the hospital to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
