Children should be prohibited from eating high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. It is also important not to let them sleep or loung on the sofa immediately after meals or while snacking.If, during the treatment of obesity, the above methods do not alleviate your child's symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to determine the underlying causes and prevent the condition from worsening.
