Patient's question:
Boy, just 7 years old, recently, noticed, my child has a lot of meat on his body, and at the same time, he can eat several bowls of food in one meal. Even when asked to exercise, he is unwilling. Please ask: How should child obesity and overweight be treated effectively.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 sports that are beneficial for weight loss, such as jogging or swimming. They should also give their child more fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots. Children should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Additionally, parents should not allow their child to sleep or snack on the couch immediately after eating. During obesity treatment, parents should tailor the therapy to the child's specific condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to visit a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
