Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. Recently, I've noticed that he seems to be getting fatter, and he eats more food than most children, but he doesn't like to be active. I'd like to know: How can we effectively treat child obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
If a child has obesity, parents should address the situation through exercise and dietary changes. They can start by gradually increasing the intensity of physical activities for the child, such as jogging, and gradually increase the distance run by half a lap at a time. Additionally, encourage the child to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from consuming high-calorie foods such as cakes and chestnuts. Avoid letting the child overeat frequently and encourage more exercise.During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should promptly take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment. Avoid treatment.
