Patient's question:
Boy, just 9 years old, recently for a few weeks, noticed that the child is getting fatter and fatter, and can eat several bowls of food in one meal. Additionally, he is very lazy. Please ask: How can obesity and overweight in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their physical activity and control their diet to improve the condition. Parents should supervise their children to engage in aerobic exercises like jogging and swimming. Foods such as carrots and spinach are helpful in addressing obesity. High-calorie foods like nuts and hamburgers should be avoided. It is important to help children break the habit of being inactive after meals or overeating. Parents should be reminded that during treatment, if the child's condition worsens, they must take the child to the hospital to diagnose the condition and receive targeted treatment.
