Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, I have noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating more than the average child. When I ask her to exercise, she doesn't want to. Please ask: How can obesity in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To help children alleviate the symptoms of obesity, it is important to arrange appropriate exercise and diet for them. You can start by having them engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging, hill climbing, and swimming. Additionally, encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, and avoid giving them fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Parents should also address the child's unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition worsens significantly, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
