Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. This year, I noticed that he is getting fatter and fatter. Also, he can eat several bowls of food in one meal. Even when I ask him to exercise, he doesn't want to. Please ask: How can I effectively treat a child who is obese and lazy?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change his symptoms by increasing his exercise and controlling his diet. Aerobic exercises like swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. Foods such as carrots and spinach are helpful in addressing obesity. High-calorie foods like peanuts and burgers should not be given to the child. It is also important to break the habit of disliking exercise, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. Parents are advised to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis if the condition worsens during treatment, so that targeted treatment can be provided.
