Patient's question:
Boy, just 3 years old, recently in the past few weeks, it has been noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter, and at the same time, he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. When asked to exercise, he is unwilling. Please ask: How should the obesity of the child be treated appropriately.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents need to control their child's diet and increase their physical activity. Parents can encourage their child to engage in exercises that are beneficial for weight loss, such as jogging or swimming, and encourage them to eat more vegetables, like tomatoes and cucumbers. High-calorie snacks, such as macadamia nuts and cookies, should not be given to the child. Additionally, parents should help their child break bad habits, such as being inactive after meals and picky eating. If the child's condition is severe during the treatment for childhood obesity, parents should take them to the hospital promptly for treatment under a doctor's guidance.
