Patient's question:
Male child, already 5 years old. Recently, I feel that my child has gained a lot of weight, and at the same time, he has been eating more recently. He likes to lie down after meals. Please ask: What should be done for the child's obesity and overweight?Doctor's answer:
For some children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more exercise and avoid picky eating. Let the child do exercises suitable for their age, such as swimming or jogging. During this period, encourage the child to eat more cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, and other foods. Avoid giving them fried chicken, cakes, or other high-fat foods. Also, do not let the child lie down and be inactive immediately after meals. If the child's condition is severe during the treatment for obesity, it is essential to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
