Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. Recently, I feel that my child has a lot of flesh, and she can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. She likes to lie down after finishing her meal. Please ask: How should I treat the child's obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, you can first help them increase physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. Parents can encourage the child to engage in sports that are beneficial for weight loss, such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, it's important for the child to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Foods high in calories, such as cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should be avoided. Also, make sure the child doesn't go to sleep immediately after eating or snack while lying on the sofa.During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the child's obesity symptoms are severe, it's crucial to seek medical treatment promptly. Don't blindly trust certain medications.
