Patient's question:
Little girl, just 7 years old, this year, found, my child is getting fatter and fatter, and it seems to eat very uncontrolled, likes to lie down after eating, please ask: How should childhood obesity be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, you can first increase their physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. You can start by gradually increasing the intensity of exercise, such as jogging. For example, if they normally run half a lap, you can gradually increase it to a full lap. Vegetables like carrots and spinach are also helpful in reducing obesity. High-calorie foods like nuts and burgers should be avoided. Additionally, children should not be allowed to sleep immediately after eating or lie on the sofa while snacking. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly. Do not blindly trust certain medications.
