Patient's question:
My male child, who is 2 years old this year, has been observed to be getting fatter. He can eat several bowls of food in one meal and doesn't like to exercise much. I would like to ask: How should I treat my child's obesity and being overweight?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body becomes obese, parents should create a set of exercise plans and healthy diets for them. They can arrange aerobic exercises for the child, such as swimming or jogging, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach, carrots, and nuts. Foods high in calories, such as hamburgers, should not be given to the child. Additionally, parents should help the child correct unhealthy habits, such as being inactive after meals and picky eating. During the treatment period, parents should monitor the child's condition closely. If the situation is severe, medical treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor, and blind treatment should be avoided.
