Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. This year, I've observed that the child seems to be getting fatter and can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. He enjoys lying down after finishing his meal. Please ask: How should obesity and overweight in children be treated appropriately.Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has childhood obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. Activities like swimming and climbing slopes are very effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. During this period, encourage your child to eat more cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, and similar foods. Your child should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Additionally, if your child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this unhealthy behavior. If the condition is severe during the treatment for childhood obesity, it is recommended that parents first take their child to the hospital to check the cause of the obesity and then receive targeted treatment.
