Patient's question:
Boys, just 3 years old, recently for a few weeks, noticed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and he eats more food than average children. Usually, he doesn't like to play outside. I ask: How should I treat child obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their exercise and control their diet to improve the symptoms. They can arrange aerobic exercises for the child, such as swimming or jogging, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Make sure not to let the child consume high-calorie foods, such as cakes, chips, and cola. Parents should also address the child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. If the condition is severe during the treatment of pediatric obesity, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital for a checkup to determine the cause of the obesity so that targeted treatment can be administered.
