Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. This year, I feel that my child is getting fatter, and at the same time, his appetite is very large. He likes to lie down after eating. Please ask: How should children with obesity and a lack of exercise be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change his symptoms through exercise and control. Let the child do some exercises suitable for his age, such as swimming, jogging, etc. Eat more high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes. Do not give children fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. If the child likes to lie down after eating, parents must help him correct this bad behavior. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if parents find that the child's condition is serious, they should go to the hospital in time to identify the cause and treat it accordingly.
