Patient's question:
Boy, he is 3 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and can eat several bowls of rice at one meal. He likes to lie down after eating. Please ask: How can we effectively treat childhood obesity if the child dislikes exercise?Doctor's answer:
To help children reduce the symptoms of obesity, it is important to reasonably arrange exercise and diet for them. Parents should supervise their children to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. In terms of diet, children should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc., and avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods like hamburgers, French fries, and cookies. It is also necessary to help children correct habits such as being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's condition is severe, parents should take them to the hospital promptly and seek medical guidance for treatment.
