Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 9 years old. Recently, I noticed that she is getting fatter and eating more. She likes to lie down after meals. Please advise: How can I treat my child's obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
Once a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first change the situation through exercise and diet. Encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. During this period, let the child eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green pea pudding. Avoid giving the child high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. Parents should also correct the child's unwillingness to exercise and selective eating habits in daily life. During obesity treatment, parents should provide reasonable care based on the child's condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to go to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
