Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. Recently, I've noticed that she seems to be getting fatter and she's also eating more lately. She likes to lie down after meals. I'd like to ask: How should I treat her obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love exercise and be less picky about food. You can gradually increase the intensity of exercise for the child, such as jogging. For instance, they can add half a lap at a time during regular exercise. During this period, encourage the child to eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. It is forbidden to let the child consume high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Additionally, do not let the child sleep immediately after eating or snack while lying on the sofa. If, during the treatment of obesity, the above methods do not alleviate your child's symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
