Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. Recently, it has been observed that my child is becoming increasingly overweight. Additionally, it seems to eat without restraint, and he doesn't like to play outdoors as much. I am asking: How should I treat a child who is obese and (doesn't like to exercise)?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has child obesity, you should first arrange reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for them. You can start by increasing the exercise intensity when your child is active, such as jogging. Gradually add more exercise, like running half a lap at a time. Also, include more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. Avoid giving children high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies. In daily life, do not let your child snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. It is important to remind parents that during treatment, if the child's condition worsens, they must take the child to the hospital to diagnose the condition and then treat accordingly.
