Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. This year, I feel that my child has a lot of meat on his body. Also, he can eat several bowls of rice at one meal. Usually, he doesn't like to go out to play. Please ask: How can we treat a child who is obese and lazy?Doctor's answer:
For children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more exercise and avoid picky eating. Activities like swimming and climbing slopes are highly effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. It is also important to consume more high-fiber vegetables, such as winter melon and tomatoes. Foods high in calories, like nuts and burgers, should be avoided. Additionally, children should not be allowed to sleep or lie on the sofa immediately after eating snacks. During the treatment of obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a reputable hospital for treatment.
