Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 8 years old, has recently been gaining more weight. Additionally, she eats more than most children and is reluctant to exercise. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat child obesity?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start with his exercise and diet. Aerobic exercises like swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. Foods such as carrots and spinach are helpful in combating obesity. It is essential to prohibit the child from eating high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Parents should help the child correct habits like being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital promptly and seek medical guidance for treatment.
