Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. In the past few weeks, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children, and recently, he's been eating more and more. He likes to lie down after meals. I would like to ask: How can child obesity be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To help a child change the symptoms of obesity, it's important to arrange reasonable exercise and diet for them. Encourage them to do activities suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. During this period, let them eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid giving them fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Additionally, help them correct bad habits, such as being inactive after meals and picky eating. If a child's condition is severe during the treatment for childhood obesity, parents should take them to the hospital promptly and seek medical guidance for treatment.
