Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old. Recently, for the past few weeks, I've noticed that she has a lot of meat on her body and also seems to eat without restraint. She doesn't like to exercise either. I'd like to ask: How can I treat my child's obesity and being overweight?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body shows signs of obesity, parents should create a exercise plan and healthy diet for their child. Parents can encourage their child to engage in activities that are beneficial for reducing obesity, such as jogging, swimming, etc. During this period, the child should be given vegetables that are helpful for improving obesity, such as winter melon, sweet pea paste, etc. Avoid giving children fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Strictly control the child's diet and prevent them from overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing the child's obesity. During the treatment, parents should closely monitor their child's condition and seek medical guidance if the situation worsens. Do not attempt to treat the condition without professional advice.
