Patient's question:
My boy, who is 9 years old this year, has been observed to be getting fatter. Additionally, he eats more food than most children and doesn't like to exercise. How should pediatric obesity and laziness be treated?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has childhood obesity, you should first arrange reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for them. For childhood obesity, it's advisable to engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing or swimming. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and similar foods. Avoid giving the child fried chicken, cakes, or other high-fat foods. Additionally, don't let the child sleep immediately after eating or snack while lying on the sofa. It's important to remind parents that during the treatment period, if the child's condition worsens, they must take the child to the hospital to determine the specific condition and then provide targeted treatment.
