Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. This year, I found that my child's weight is much heavier than other children's. Additionally, he seems to eat without restraint, and he doesn't really like to play outside. I ask: How should pediatric obesity with a lack of exercise be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, you can first encourage them to increase physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. Parents can have the child engage in exercises beneficial for combating obesity, such as jogging or swimming. During this period, the child should consume more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. The child should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. Strictly control the child's diet and avoid overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing childhood obesity. If the child's condition is severe during the treatment for obesity, parents should promptly take them to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
