Patient's question:
Boys, already 9 years old. Recently, I feel that the child seems to be getting fatter and fatter, and at the same time, he is getting hungrier and hungrier. Even if I ask him to exercise, he doesn't want to. Please ask: How should the treatment be for children who are overweight and eat a lot.Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and not be picky about food. You can start by having them do some aerobic exercises, such as jogging, climbing, swimming, etc. Additionally, they should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples, kiwis, etc. Do not give children high-calorie snacks such as macadamia nuts, cookies, etc. Also, do not let them sleep or lie on the sofa after eating snacks. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents first take their child to the hospital for a check-up to identify the cause of obesity and then provide targeted treatment.
