Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. Recently, I've noticed that he's getting fatter and eating more, but he's also becoming less active. Could you please advise on how to treat childhood obesity and lethargy?Doctor's answer:
To help your child alleviate the symptoms of obesity, it is important to arrange reasonable exercise and diet for them. Parents should supervise their children to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. Vegetables rich in fiber, like winter melon and tomatoes, should be consumed in greater amounts. Children should avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts. Strictly control their diet to prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for improving your child's obesity. During the treatment period for your child's obesity, if their condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a reputable hospital for proper treatment.
