Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 3 years old this year. This year, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's. At the same time, she is getting hungrier and hungrier recently, and she doesn't want to exercise when I ask her. I ask: How should I treat a child who is obese and lazy?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first establishing an exercise routine and modifying the child's diet. Parents should monitor their child's participation in aerobic activities such as jogging and swimming, and encourage the consumption of fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. Avoid letting the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods like burgers, fries, and cookies. Additionally, if the child tends to lie down after meals, parents must help them correct this unhealthy behavior. During the treatment for obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a reputable hospital for proper medical care.
