Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school, this year, observed, my child has a lot of meat on his body, and recently, he has been eating more and more, and he doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How can the child's obesity and overweight be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has childhood obesity, you should first arrange reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for them. Parents can encourage their children to engage in exercises that are beneficial for weight loss, such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, they should consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis, while avoiding fried foods and dried fruits. These are high-calorie, high-fat foods. If the child has a tendency to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this unhealthy behavior. It is important to remind parents that during the treatment period, if the child's condition worsens, they should take them to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the underlying issue and provide targeted treatment.
