Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. In this year, I noticed that his body has become fatter and fatter. Also, he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. He doesn't like to go out and play during the day. Please ask: If a child is obese and dislikes exercise, what should be the appropriate treatment.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start by addressing his exercise and diet. Aerobic exercises such as swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child, and in terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc. The child should not consume high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. It is important to help the child change habits such as being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's condition is severe, parents should take him to the hospital promptly and seek medical guidance for treatment under a doctor's supervision.
