Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old this year. This year, I've noticed that he seems to be getting fatter. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal and doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase the child's physical activity and control their diet to improve the symptoms. Activities such as swimming and climbing hills are very effective for alleviating obesity. Parents should encourage children to eat more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. High-calorie and high-fat foods, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies, should be avoided. Additionally, children should not be allowed to lie down motionless after meals. Parents are advised to take their children to the hospital if their condition worsens during treatment to diagnose the problem accurately and receive targeted treatment.
