Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. Recently, I've noticed that he has a lot of meat on his body, and he seems to eat especially without restraint. He is also very lazy. I would like to ask: How should pediatric obesity and laziness be treated?Doctor's answer:
To help children reduce the symptoms of obesity, it is important to arrange appropriate exercise and diet for them. For pediatric obesity, aerobic exercises such as climbing and swimming are beneficial. Additionally, children should consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. It is crucial to avoid letting children eat high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and Coca-Cola. Moreover, children should not lie down inactive immediately after meals.During the treatment of obesity in children, if the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms, parents should promptly take their children to the hospital to identify the underlying causes and prevent the condition from worsening.
