Patient's question:
Boys, just 3 years old, recently for a few weeks, observed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and at the same time, his appetite is very large. He likes to lie down after finishing his meal. Please ask: How should child obesity be treated to be effective.Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, you can start by increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet to alleviate the symptoms. You can gradually increase the intensity of their exercise, such as jogging, by running half a lap more each time. Foods rich in dietary fiber, like winter melon and tomatoes, should be consumed in larger quantities. The child should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Parents should address the child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in their daily life. It is advised that if the child's condition worsens during treatment, parents should take them to the hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
