Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in elementary school. This year, he notices that his child is getting fatter and fatter, and seems to eat very uncontrolled, and is also very lazy. Question: How can obesity and overweight in children be treated most effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should improve the situation through exercise and dietary changes. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing hills and swimming are beneficial. In terms of diet, children should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc., while avoiding high-calorie foods such as nuts and hamburgers. Additionally, children should not be allowed to overeat frequently and should be encouraged to exercise more. Parents should be reminded that if their child's condition worsens during treatment, they must take the child to the hospital to identify the underlying issue and receive targeted treatment.
